    Re: black pastel vs cinnamon are they the same morph?

    The butter/lesser, Graziani/lemon pastel, orangebelly/yellowbelly examples are incorrect because they are the same genetic mutations. Just different lines of the same mutation.

    Cinnys and Black Pastels are not different lines of the same mutation. They just lie on the same genetic loci, making them have similar traits.

    An equivalent example would be fire, vanilla, and disco. 3 different morphs that are similar, but not the same. They are all allelic to each other and do very similar things in combos.
    I find orangebelly and yellowbelly to be distinct enough (especially in their homozygous forms) to be considered their own genetic mutations - but if you want to make it indisputable, you can compare Spark to Gravel, Yellowbelly to Asphalt.
