It's a pretty poor picture, too. I would not trust that photo to be an accurate representation of what those pastels look like. Not saying the seller is untrustworthy (I didn't even look at who it was)....just saying that even with GOOD photography, it's sometimes hard to capture their true colors. So with a crummy pic, I simply would not expect them to really look like that.

In the end...in my eyes...they look like ordinary pastels that will brown out a LOT as they get older. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Maybe ask for a picture of the parents to get an idea of how they might color as they age.
