Hi
Not sure exactly what you are talking about but I think you are referring to the area on albinos that is not yellow or orange which can range from brown to lavender to pink to white in apperance. If you breed in hypomelanism, you can work towards an all yellow or all orange albino (see pic for my best results of this so far).My theory is that to get an all lavender albino you would have to be working with the melanistic trait, which would reduce the amount of yellow/orange. Only problem is people are still working hard on on melanism itself, the best results I have seen yet were produced by someone in Sweden or something...so I think an all lavender/pink albino is still years down the road unless people have stuff up their sleeve I don't know about (which is of course entirely possible)
This gecko was produced by selectively breeding in hypomelanistic traits. If the trait were instead hypermelanism, I expect you would see the opposite- more pink.
