i am by no means an autority on any of this but you asked for opinions. to me they all look like nicely colored normals. but i would also suggest taking pictures that are more true to the color like outdoors without a flash.
aside from this if the male bred to another unrelated female produces young that show this look then i would have to say that it is a co dominent or dominent trait being passed on if it is in fact not a normal with good looks. pastels are not my thing so i may be bias on this subject. i would also have to say that if this is in fact a non normal trait that you would have to breed back an offspring to a parent to determine if the trait is co dominent or dominent as if it is co dominent then the resulting offspring would appear different (like super salmons often do). i appologize if i am confusing but i had written an explanation of genetics in the genetics forum the other day if this needs clarification.
none the less its all my opinion but they are however some pretty good looking snakes normals or not. final advice would be to put up some natural light pictures for better opinions.
good luck with it all
