But, piebald is also a genetic term (when I get to school tomorrow I'll look it up and give you the definition out of my genetics text form college), I belive piebaldism is the name applied to the condition of having patches of skin which lack chromatophores (cells make make pigment). I'll check it tomorrow.

Brian,
And you are right, piebald is also a genetic term coined after an animal showing "sections or patches colored differently". Regrettably Pastel is also a genetic name that applies to several species such as minks, parrotlets, cockatiels, bettas, and guppies among them.
You know who else uses the term Pastel as a synonimous for Pastel Jungle?
