    pastel is the most common morph of all BP morphs. it is also one of the oldest.

    but we all know they have issues with browning out. and in multi-gene combos, they can wash out or fade out the pattern.

    its the most common morph because it has been the most common morph right from the beginning. there is no other reason. in quality, it does not compare to other newer codominants like lesser/butter, yellowbelly, mojave, fire, enchi, CG/banana, gravel, mocha, bamboo.

    after spending a lot of time on this forum and working on getting into the right living condition and financial condition to get started, i will soon start my collection. and i will, right from the start, cut out the two most common morphs: pastel and spider. meaning i am open to start with everything else except these two. maybe ill get a spider later on, but never a pastel. and the first BP i buy will definitively contain enchi.

    pastel is the cheapest morph (fact), the most common morph (fact), one of the oldest morphs if not the oldest morph (fact), and i think the most overrated morph (matter of opinion).

    the deal-breaker for me is that jigsaws and kingpins look awesome, but when you add pastel, they look diminished. not necessarily in color, but definitively in contrast and pattern. these are just two obvious examples where the result is better without pastel.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    I agree, thanks for the input! Though when I first got into bp's I wasn't planning on breeding and pastels were the cheapest morph for me at that time. Now, things have changed and I see things differently lol. I'm into piebalds and black pastels right now but if I get pastel babies I think I'll hold a female back to breed to my black pastel get piebald

    I believe that albino is the oldest morph but you are right pastel is old.

    I believe that albino is the oldest morph but you are right pastel is old. but I have to disagree with you about say the pastel is useless to have in your collection while you are right it doesn't combined with everything( what morph does ) I fell like the super pastel make a lot of really nice stuff. I fell this is more about them being cheap then anything else to you because you pick out the 2 lowest morphs and that is true pastel willnt bring a lot of "value" to your collection and if you are try to get return money wise it would be smart to get higher end morph. but for what we have seen from this morph I would say it overrated. I hostley started out with the two morph that you said you wouldn't a super pastel and a spider for the victory of creating bumblebee and then killer bees. the resoe I did it this way is because right now I don't care if I earn any money I want the bragging right to be able to say that I made these really cool morph. it post and I went over the ten min. this in no way is ment to attack you just my thought on pastels
