The "everyday" albinos such as they yellow, orange,and red albinos are T Negative albinos. The "red" or "extreme red" albinos are merely line traits that make the "everyday" albinos appear red. So a red albino is only showing one recessive trait, the t negative albino trait. Line traits like "red" "blonde" or "green" are not passed on in a dominant or recessive way but in more of a random way when related or simalarly colored animals are paired.
Pink Pastel Albinos are different in that the pink coloration is genetically passed on through a recessive gene. you can have a het pink pastel albino but not a het red albino since "red" is not recessively inherited. if that makes sense... Pink Pastel Albinos are T Negatives.
Lavenders, "hypos", and Carmel albinos (which are different from hypos and look a lot like toffees) all seem to be T Positive albinos as they have ruby eyes instead of bright pink and they do show darker pigments that T Negatives can not. everything about these three morphs is recessively inheritable meaning that there can be "hets" for each of these three morphs.
Lastly, Toffeebellies also seem to be T Positives given the non-bright pink eyes, the dark pigments, and the "toffee" bellies  They differ from the other T Positive Hognose in that they can have paradoxing. This means that although they are T Positives, in some parts of their dorsal and ventral sides "normal" hognose coloration shows through. They appear as black flecking on the T Positive animal.
Hope that made some sense...
Maybe someone can post 6 pics of the 6 different types of "albinos"
