Pink Pastel and Albino are non-compatible recessive genetic types that will produce normal looking possible double hets. All the babies will be 100% het for albino since the mother is albino, but the babies should be around 50% het for Pink Pastel. There is no way to really tell which is going to be het for PPA. The outcome of breeding a het Pink Pastel to an Albino should be:
50% het Pink Pastel x het albino
50% het albino

But Punnet squares are just statistical guidelines. While all of the babies will be 100% het albino, there's no real telling how many if any are really going to be het for Pink Pastel. You could have all double hets for both genes or just het for Albino with the PPA gene being absent. The only way to prove each individual out is by breeding it to an animal that is homo for the recessive gene you are wanting to prove out.

As far as a double homo Pink Pastel/Albino animal goes, I don't think I've ever heard/read of anybody working on that kind of project but I'm sure that somebody must have by now. The only 2 Albino recessive mixes I currently know of are the Snows (Albino x Axanthic) and the Hybino (Albino x Hypo). Obviously the Snows are dramatically very different, but I can't say that I've really been impressed with the few pictures of Hybino's I've seen. But the pics of the PPA x Hypo looks very impressive.

Speaking of which, I just hatched out 2 separate clutches of 100% Het Pink Pastel's from 2 different pairings as my PPA male was ready to go as were 2 of my normal females. Unfortunately, I couldn't get him to breed with my Albino female which I was interested in trying out and my PPA female is a very fussy eater and very slow growing. Perhaps next season...
