Jeff, I'd say most adults in my collection have varying degrees of newsprinting in them. I find the darkened scale centers interesting from animal to animal. For me newsprinting is a moot point. And here's why.

Here is an adult Bighorn female that looks really gray in this first photo, but really is a very nice solid looking animal in hand. I think the two photos show how varied the colors can be on a single animal.





This subadult hopper eating Cherry co. female is one of the brightest white Pales I own. But has heavy newsprinting on her side, but viewed dorsally the white really stands out.



An over all white look is nice but how about yellow. A lot of the multistrata I see have awesome yellow pigment to them. I really tend to like annulata, amaura, and celaenops because of the yellow they can have on them.
Bighorn co. adult


Stillwater co. adult, I know you have all seen him before, but I really like how yellow he is.



Celaenops male


We need Cole and Jeff H. in here, they have great looking yellow Milks.

O.K., I've talked myself out, so I'll end w/ this photo of one of Cole's Pales. I have never seen a multistrata w/ this kind of saddle before.
