It most absolutely is true. It's all about the picture. You can take a good photo with the right lighting and make just about any pastel look more yellow/brighter. Sorry but MOST pastels do look pretty much the same as adults. Just like Super pastels. They are so much brighter as babies than a normal pastel, yet after they get older they are almost just as "brown" looking. Only real difference is the blushing and head pattern. I have seen supers that big breeders have used that are just as brown as some uglier pastels. Age and size does make all the difference in how they look. The older and bigger they are the more browned they look.
