Hi Scott
BluePastelEmerald is not possible you can only have any two of them in one bird. If the cock is Blue Pied then the chick will certainly have a Blue gene and either a Pastel gene or an Emerald gene to go with it. If the hen is Cinnamon it won't show in the chick unless the cock is split for it.
So that makes it fairly simple. If the chick is Pied it will have be either a PastelBlue Pied or an EmeraldBlue Pied and they do not look similar at all.
Kind regards
Mike
