There are different lines that you can get that have different outcomes... for the most part they all "brown out" as they mature, some sooner than others... I would recommend spending a little more money and buying a lemon pastel... they seem to hold their color the best.
Hope this helps
Blondes tend not to brown out as adults.
Here is a pic of 1 of my adult Blonde Pastels.

thanks everyone for the feedback its much appreciated.
too. Its all marketing, I have a few lemons and grazianni pastels that were all pics of the litter when I bought or produced them. My adult male lemoon is 3 years old and still looks great as do the reat. Just start with a nice looking animal with little to no orange.
