Pastels are a bright yellow coloration with a plain white belly and greenish eyes. They also will have a faded look to the dark spots on their backs and their head. When viewed side by side I doubt you'd be able to mistake a pastel for a normal (if you can't then it's either a really poor pastel or a really nice normal). Just check out any of the big breeder's websites or troll the forums/classifieds here and you will find an abundant supply of pics to see what I mean.

Hope it helps,
Dan
