All pastels.

I was trying to assemble a long answer, but I just don't know the genetics well enough.

I assure you, however, that the result of breeding a super pastel jungel to a normal is all pastels.

Just think of it like you would a recessive trait. If you breed an albino to a normal you get all hets. Since the super pastel, like the albino, is the homozygous form, then a pastel would be the equivalent of a het. albino. Hope that explained it good enough. You will get all pastels from a super pastel x normal...
