I've read that article on the history of pastels a couple times over. I understand that the pastel trait itself reduces the dark pigment and brings out the light(color), and is not charecterized by the color itself. Go to jeff's website, check out some of the lucy pastels, jeff has snakes labled pastel with the same amount of black on the dallions. He himself has labled these animals as pastels.
