Pastel is just as "co-dominant" as mojave (which is to say, it's probably "incomplete dominant" instead of "co-dominant" if we really wanna nit-pick), but it does seem that the pattern (and possibly the color as well ..?) of the normal parent will have an effect on the pastel offspring, from what folks have been saying.
Gotcha! Yes - I agree that the normal parent will influence the pastel offspring, and I also believe that the general color and blushing on mojos and cinnies, in this example, can be influenced by the normal parent, and less so on the pattern, since those two morphs seem to be more pattern dominant and the pastel is less pattern dominant.

It's one reason I selected my normal girls to grow up a few years ago, so carefully - so that I could work with selectively breeding my mutations.
