I have a black pastel - do I also want a cinny?

[h00blah]

Is this based on fact or opinion? Just wondering because I personally find cinnamons to be more attractive (again a personal opinion) but, are cinnamons, beyond a reasonable doubt, considered to be more brown and less black than black pastels? At what point is a cinnamon considered to be black pastel in appearance and vice versa?

I also always saw my cinnamon (and other cinnamons as well as black pastels) as having a more 'warm/reddish' tone than a 'golden' tone compared to normals. Is this also just me?

To the OP, I don't think there is any detriment to having one of each, perhaps for any given season one of the males doesn't make locks, this way you have another male of a very similar morph to get the combos you want. I find cinnamons to have 'cleaner' markings, but there are unique and beautiful qualities in both versions of the morph.

well just look at the names.. BLACK pastels should be a combination of dark BLACK and gold - CINNAMON is more a focus on how light the black is (almost brown.. like cinnamon) mixed with the gold..
