We have a couple different pastels and with all of them we made our choice based on seeing something that stuck out on them! We love our Lemon Bee as she is a lot cleaner than others we have seen. Our graziani male is Het albino which is something we wanted then when he got here he was just too cute. Then our latest pastel is a blond with nice pattern reduction. Look for things you like and if you can see them in person first all the better.
