Does this look like a pastel to you?

How can you tell?

My avatar is what my pastel used to look like when I first got him + camera flash and good lighting.

He just shed for me again, and with every shed, more and more brown is showing, but the areas that you see the light brown on top usually will turn darker and the bright pure yellows will stay that color.

That baby in my opinion, doesn't have a whole lot of pure yellow to it at all, so I don't think it would retain the yellow 'desired' color that most people want. :]
