The latter coloration is often closer to a pale dairo color (hada color) than to white. Also,The "albino" type is easily mistaken for white. Albinos are characterized by their "lack of color.Albinos are individuals with a genetic disorder that results in a congenital lack of melanin due to a deficiency in the genetic information involved in melanin biosynthesis.

White individuals have black eyes, while albino individuals have red eyes due to the transmission of capillaries in the pupil.
