You will get normal het amel het charcoal possibly het diffusion.

pewter is polymorph (charcoal diffusion) so it technically can't be "het pewter".

This is a good example of why you shouldn't use polymorphs with het.

If you use polymorphs with het, these normals could described as:

normal het blizard ph pewter, fire
normal het charcoal, amel ph pewter
normal het charcoal, amel ph fire
normal het charcoal, amel ph pewter, fire

Break it down to the single genes, and it is all standardized.

normal het charcoal, amel ph diffusion

If I were you, I'd look at the offspring closely - you can (or some people claim) often see a marker for diffusion. So hold back a male and female that look like they have the marker for diffusion, and in the F2 - you will greatly increase the odds of producing fires and pewters in the same clutch.

I decided my old sig was too big.

Or would it be more accurate to say het bloodred?

bloodred is still what most people call diffusion, but from what I understand, bloodred is a particular color morph of diffusion and happens to be where diffusion popped up - but as the gene was outcrossed to other lines, the pattern mutation does not necessarily come with the red coloration that is associated with bloodred.

Most still call the mutation bloodred though.
