I'm not sure how to explain it, I'm sure Illa will.

But if you look at other colors like partridge, red pyle, wheaton, etc., the males and females color out differently, but they are the same color genetically. Roosters almost never come in pastel colors, thier colors are more vibrant and shiny.

Roosters can come in pastel colors, but, if a rooster was the same color as that hen (genetically) He'd have a red head, red shoulders, and the rest of his body would be gleaming white. His breast might have flecks of red, but, overall the bird will be white. The red will truly be a nice showy red, or possibly a good orange.
