Snow= line bred mostly white/lightly colored dragons
Hypopastel= Dragon with Clear nails and is Hypomelanistic
Pastel= term that was originally used by people who thought they had a hypopastel but did not realize at the time that hypopastels had clear nails. Now many people just slap "Pastel" on any dragon to describe what they think is a light dragon. NOT A MORPH
Hypomelanistic= Reduced or non functioning melanophores in the epidermis therefore cannot readily show dark pigment.

That is just a my 2 cents
