I used mayhems lime green pastel concentrate and it's starting to create a brown residue.

 

It's been in use for almost 10 months, not heavily used but I guess it's about time to drain and refill.

 

I thought I wanted a pastel but after getting it I just want to go back to transparent. I feel like if I'm going to use pastel I might as well just get non transparent colored tubes.

yeah it ends up being the more sensible solution since you're sure you won't get any sort of problems from it

I want white and i know i might start a firestorm with this but what should i get? Pastel or no?

As mentioned before there will be the rare case of the fluid clogging or causing problem but with a properly designed loop with no dead zones in general you will have no issues. What are your watercooling components your planning to have in the loop.
