I have noticed the same thing with Pastels. The Hi-yellow babies are not as impressive as the orange babies, but after a few sheds it becomes evident that the yellow babies will look better as adults.
A couple of years back I bought 5 female pastels from the Sutherlands and the one I liked the least is the one that turned out to be the best. She's pictured below as an adult. This animal did not brown out... she lit up! I had pictures of her as a baby but my hard drive crashed.

The brightest pastel I have ever laid eyes on was a lemon from your line, I'll give you that. But I have seen many more lemons and blondes that were not that impressive. It makes me wonder if the coloring, blushing, neck bars and other characteristics associated with certain lines are due to selective breeding or unrelated traits passed on independent of the Jungle Pastel gene. I guess time will tell.
