Spot of color in a leucy? Genetics Q.

Hey guys! I have my leucy texas rat that's growing up, and today I noticed a vibrant but tiny spot of cheeto-orange on a scale. I rubbed at it really well so pretty sure it's not grime/poop/whatever, and I don't think it's scale rot.

Do leucistics sometimes show spots of color? Because my only other guess would be a tiny fleck of paradox is going on, but I doubt I'm so lucky.
