questions about linen

I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I made DS a pair of linen shorts last summer and want to make him more for the upcoming one. The ones I made him were 'natural' colour does linen come in a range of colours or jsut natural.
Also I recieved my first magazines from my Ottobre subscription yesterday and one of the patterns calls for a linen chambray
can anyone tell me the difference between linen and linen chambray?

Their "yarn dye" section has some chambray looking fabrics in it.  (as well as other things)

I learned something new today from another Elizabeth; I did not know that chambray refers to the weave of the fabric. Thanks
