Is that not correct?
Yeah, but I'm kinda with Randy when he says that its not really correct to say het super pastel. The name of the trait is pastel, not super pastel. To me, super is a descriptive term to say that it is homozygous. So to say het super pastel would be similar to saying het homozygous pastel. So, in my mind a pastel is heterozygous for the pastel trait, or a "het pastel". Then there's Opal, another name for super pastel. So a pastel = het Opal.

Yellowbelly/Ivory opens a whole different can of worms. What's the name of the trait? Yellowbelly or Ivory? It almost seems like two different names for the same trait. Yellowbelly = het Ivory. Ivory = homozygous Yellowbelly.
