There are multiple lines of pastel.
Pastel is a phenotype. Pastel dreams is a bloodline.
High color albinos are a phenotype. Coral albinos are a bloodline.
I can call my normal boa a pastel if it has enough reduction of black.
I can call my normal albino boa a high color albino boa if it has enough extra color.
I cannot call my normal boa a pastel dreams boa, regardless of how much reduced black it has or how much it resembles a pastel dreams boa.
I cannot call my normal albino boa a coral albino boa, regardless of how much extra color is has or how much it resembles a coral albino boa.
See what im saying?
Now, you can say "My albino has coral-like color" .. or "My albino has coralish coloration" or "My albino has a lot of coral coloration (implying that it resembles albinos from the coral bloodline)".
Or you can even prove the color genetic and make up your own coral name, like the "Bubblegum Coral Albinos" for example.
From what I understand if you straight up call your albino boa a coral albino and it is not from the Pete Kahl coral bloodline it is a mis-representation.

You are on the right track, somewhat. - topnotchboas, Fri Mar 11 10:03:57 2005
