difficult to describe but here goes:



Hypo may not simply be a reduction of melanin, it appears to actually replace or swap it with another pigment. I believe it may possibly be more of a pattern morph where it changes where the pigments are, not how much is expressed.



Example is albino vs sunglow. The clearest difference is at the tail blotches. The albino has a clear ring around the redish blotches where the black would have been. The sunglow has that band reduced to nothing or near nothing making the tail blotch fully red/pink. Also sunglows have more red all over but that may be an extension of the red for black effect?
