Just to add to what's been said already. If you look at a T albino, many times the black that would be surrounding the tail saddles will often times be more of a purple, or faded black than an actual black. (like some hypos)

This happens because, though they are able to produce the Tyrosene in amounts, it is not properly synthesized, do to some deficiencies, and rarely turns an actual black.

At least, this is the way I have learned the difference. I'm hardly a biologist though. LOL
