its a pastel, no doubt i have one sith higher yellow on the sides but same kinda darker back. his tank got in the sun a little and he got darker on one side which is funny but for the most part he is beautiful light yellow to dark back. and pastels tend to have light green almost hazel. like light brown in normal light and noticably green in the sun.

but beware!! as i have learned the hard way! no sun! the yellow will turn and thats not what u want in you pastel
