Pewter = Pastel x Cinnamon Pastel

Silver Streak = I think it's a Pewter x Super Pastel?

that a cinnamon is not a pastel at all. I am just trying to figure out, if the cinnamon is a pastel why does it not look like a pewter until you cross it with a pastel? Are there ANY pastel genes in a cinnamon or is it just what they call a cinnamon?

I am not trying to make waves. I am just wanting to learn more about the cinnamon's potential. I have a male who is ready to go, but I am not sure which of my females to put him with.

I've got:
.2 albinos
.2 pastels
.1 spider
.6 normal
ready to go, but I also have:
1. albino
1. pinstripe
1. pastel

I guess I should use the cinnamon with the pastels and/or normals.
I'm glad this is the worst of my problems.

You are correct - Cinnys are not a "pastel"

This is a good run down from Graziani that explains why it became called the Cinnamon Pastel.

You don't need a Super Pastel to make the Streak. You just need a Pastel, though the odds on the Streak will be 12% instead of 25%

A Sterling Pastel and Silver Streak are basically the same thing. The Silver Streak is made using the Black Pastel. Sterling uses Cinny. Black Pastels and Cinnamons are very similar, just different names by the different originators.

Silver Bullet is a Super Cinnamon Pastel, accomplished by breeding a Pewter X Cinny. A pewter is a very important morph to have. Its the only way to produce these cinny pastel combos. Pewter X Cinny = Silver Bullet and Pewter X Pastel = Silver Streak. It also will throw out Cinny, Pastel, Super Pastel, Super Cinny, and more Pewters in these breedings. What an amazing morph to have. I guess it works the same as the Bumblebee. We just don't get a super spider pastel. Though I think the Killer Bee makes up for it.
