Where to start! OK, a Super Pastel is from a Pastel x Pastel breeding. All the babies are pastel. Each egg has a 50% chance of also being a Super Pastel also called a Opal Pastel. Because when hatched they have a opalecent look to them. When a Pastel is breed to a normal each egg has a 50% chance of being a Pastel and 50% chance of being Normal. Super pastels when breed to a normal produces all pastels.
A Graziani, Bell line, Lemon , Blond, or a dozen other lines are all Pastels. They all have produced outstanding Pastels. Each has also produced ugly ones. Pastels look awesome and breed to other morphs they really rock. Hope this helps. Claude

pastel x pastel does not yield all pastels or super pastels like you said.

breaks down like this
50% chance pastel
25% chance super pastel
25% normal
