that genes work in pairs, and co-dominant genes and simple-recessive genes don't work the same way. The albino gene is a simple recessive gene, meaning that the "normal" gene will be dominant over the recessive "albino" gene.--so all babies end up hets. in your albino crossed to normal example.
This doesn't apply to the co-dominant genes because the "pastel" gene is just as likely to be dominant over the "normal" gene, as the "normal" is to be dominant over the "pastel" gene.--thus you have a 50% chance of each baby being a pastel.
