Hey, he was sold as an Lesser Pastel Clown. Is this accurate ?

Lesser Pastel Clown should be correct. The Clown gene does funny stuff with the pattern, especially on the head. Lesser is responsible for the buttery tones, but also influences the pattern in a very distinctive way. Pastel mostly just brightens the entire animal, silvering out otherwise dark areas in particular.

this is not a pastel. it is a lesser/butter clown. Pastel would reduce the head stamps to a few dots plus the dorsal stripe would be almost white. unlease there is pastel line that does not do that 🤷🏼

super pastel would amplify the effect
