that looks like a typical cotton with tons of dirt in the scales. you can totally wet him and probably see some pattern and when he sheds, he'll probably look a bit black/green then fade to mostly green after a few sheds.

i've seen them look yellowy white depending on the type of soil they are in. in the summer, if the water drops a bit, they tend to get a lot muddier looking.
