unpigmented
Without natural coloring
Unpigmented means lacking pigment—the natural coloring matter in cells and tissues.
Unpigmented skin or hair has no melanin, appearing white or translucent: The unpigmented patches spread across her arms.
In biology, unpigmented cells or organisms lack the compounds that would otherwise give them color.
