    And I like the stripe at the end of the tail!

    Pastel.

    Matrix may refer to a certain lineage, such as lemon, VPI, etc.

    Matrix Pastels are more commonly called "Blonde" Pastels. Congrats on your new addition.

    I have never heard of a Matrix Pastel but it looks like a browned out Pastel! It definitely is on the skinny side! After a few good meals, it will plump up! Congrats!

    Even browned out pastels I've seen don't look as awesome as he does! Got any lady friends for him?
