albinistic
Without natural coloring
Albinistic describes something exhibiting or relating to albinism—the genetic condition causing absence of pigmentation.
An albinistic animal lacks the melanin that would normally color its skin, hair, or eyes.
The term applies to plants, animals, and humans: an albinistic deer, albinistic traits.
More technical than simply calling something albino.
