True albino lack dark pigment. But shades of white, cream yellow and orange are represented and even some blue. The eye color is the true give away. Only true albinos have red/pink eyes.
And yes there is such a thing is reptiles as a lavender and purple albino.
Lavender albino
(not my snake or my photo)

I've seen snakes and lizards with darker then that.
Posting again and quoting this as I remembered a turtle my dad and I saved. Amongst many turtles this one was unique, instead of being a red eared turtle, it was a soft shelled, one of the ones with the long snake necks. Mean as hellfire on a skillet, even bit me to boot. I thought it was naturally colored what it was, but upon further investigation I have now realized, it was Albino.
The damned demon turtle was albino, and it wasn't white. It was just like that snake, a mixture of cream and yellows. Ofc I didn't get a good look at the eye, I was to busy trying to keep the lil fiend from taking another chomp from me even when all we were doing were saving the dumb things from certain death.

Gorgeous cat but nothing to abnormal as a lot of white to normal breedings produce varying shades. Really it depends on how strong the genes for the color mutation is.
It's not guaranteed if you breed white to orange you'll get any white babies.
The white cats (like lions) have what's called a homozygous gene that makes them white. It's a recessive gene. A white is the visual form of the genes. If the orange it's bred to doesn't have any of the white genes then all orange babies are born and the resulting offspring have a chance of varying percentages of carrying that gene. So if a white is bred to that offspring usually there's at least one cub in the litter that will be white. If not more.
Where this 'cinnamon' cat comes in is when bred orange to orange and having the white gene or it's been seen in white to white breedings. There are lighter phases of the orange to.
The genes are amazing and the color variants are very cool.

^ well thats just like anything resesive genes and dominant ones. Like blue eyes and brown ones with us humans the 2 parents would have to have the blue eyed gene to make a kid with blue eyes as its recessive and brown eyes are dominant genes. Hence why me and my bro have brown eyes when only my dad has blue ones. basic geneoligy i learnt at highschool XD If you want White tigers you need both the parents to have said gene or you wont get any.
