The Pastel Silver, also known as East Coast Silver has been around since about 1989. Pastel Silvers appear a light silver-grey colour. The Pastel Silver is an Autosomal Recessive mutation. Both cocks and hens can be split to this mutation and both parents must carry the mutation, either visible or split, for offspring to show the Pastel Silver colour.

Youngsters fledge a light silver-grey colour and have black eyes, dark beaks, feet and toenails. Pastel Silvers are a lighter shade on the chest than the back and wings and have very solid, even silver tones. Hens do not change colour with maturity, but cocks do go a darker shade of silver at their first moult.

The double autosomal recessive mutation, Whiteface Pastel Silver is a stunning bird, being devoid of any yellow and orange pigment, it appears a true silver colour.
