I agree one of my first visuals was a pastel, I regret not doing more research and finding qualitys that would benefit my breeding plans down the road for example I have totally been obsessing about buying one of those grazziani line pastels for sale on this forum. they are in my opnnion a very clean example of pastels and well priced. to use myself as an example i got a decent price and a pastel female i do like just not the best representation of the morph. I dont know if this makes sense but I agree with ace_singapore there are so many morphs out there like the ones u talk about just be patient and look at tons of pictures like constrictorsunlimited has a great example of morphs section where they describe each morph and charecteristics im sure there are better or equal examples out there.

I to am on the hunt for a bee that I like LOL SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM LOL good luck
