here is hypothesized to be a form of Hypomelanism, I believe they do not have red pupils as do Colombian T-Plus Albinos (What VPI has).
If you look at a picture of newborn T-plus and newborn Caramels they look the most drastic at this point compared to normals.
In the picture of the Sharps and the crosses, the Paradigms have lavender colors, not white, very much like a T-plus Albino. Considering that (from the looks of the picture on the website) they have red pupils must be where Mike got the label of a form of T-plus Albino. It is my understanding that red-pupils denote amelanism (a form of).
Bottom left, top right, and the ones in the middle (not outlying) are Paradigms. (Darker Albinos)


In this picture the bottom left and bottom right are normals. The others are all Caramels, picture from Sharon Moore, taken off of Jeff Ronne's photo gallery on his forum.

This picture by Dave Barker, taken from VPI.com shows a newborn Colombian T-plus, simply for refference. You can see the difference between them and the Caramels.
