Normal X Pastel

[LadyOhh]

I think it tends to confuse people when it is said that there is no such thing as a het pastel. It might be more accurate to say that there is no such thing as a "het FOR pastel". A pastel IS a het. It carries one of the two alleles for the pastel trait. Because it is co-dominant, it is a visual het. The homozygous form is, of course, the super pastel.

Agreed completely.

BUT! Using the phrase Het Pastel leads one to believe that it is a NORMAL het for pastel, which is why I felt the need to correct it.

Phrasing and word structure are all important when defining something like this.
