Greetings!
Yeah, Yellow prohibits black so with a black head yellow (even single factor) the head gets washed out to a grey - have you seen the neck line on a red headed yellow? It gets washed out to a bluey grey too. Its similar to how a blue gouldian cannot show a red head - the blue colouring can't show red so that gets rinsed out to like a straw sorta colouring too.
Colour with a U ;)

In a SF Pastel, the single pastel gene makes all of the areas that would normally be black turn grey. DF Pastel, the two pastel genes prevent all normally black areas to turn white.
