White, as the name implies, refers to goldfish with a body color that is entirely white. White goldfish are,Until a decade ago, white was a color that had little commercial value and was not favored in the goldfish world. Recently, however, white goldfish have become more popular because they can be differentiated from other goldfish (bare red and chintz) by their white color, and because LED lighting has started to replace fluorescent lighting, which makes the color white look more beautiful.Even within the same white coloration, the coloration varies, with some individuals having normal scales and pure white, and others having transparent scales and white dermis.

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.
