"Hypomelanism is often mistakenly used to describe this type of mutation,once it becomes entrenched in the hobby,many are reluctant to see them for what they are"
That's very true. I see this all the time as well. But in the case of the "extreme" hypos, I very much disagree.
Now the so-called "hypo" Speckled kings (L.g.holbrooki), hypo temporalis, and many other types in the hobby that are commonly referred to as "hypos", I would consider those tyrosinaise positive mutations due to the deep lavender to chocolate/ purplish hue.
