albino
Lacking all pigment
An albino is a person or animal lacking normal pigmentation, resulting in white or very pale skin, hair, or fur, and often pink eyes.
The condition, albinism, occurs across species.
Extended uses describe anything unusually pale or white: an albino deer, albino asparagus.
The term can be offensive when applied carelessly to people; many prefer "person with albinism."
