I really cant answer that from experience , he is my first pastel I have owned. The main thing about Graziani Pastels are there blushing , thats supposed to be there best point . I think I am lucky with this one tho ' ,he is very bright on the sides, only ' darkening ' when he is in slough. At the end of the day , look at as many as you can and go with what you like . I reckon some will fade and some wont , probs applies to all morphs ...depends on the quality of the genes ( IMHO ) , this is where Line Breeding ( to enhance a trait ) would play a major part. HTH
