Well, it's pretty tough to see any of the true coloration with that particular photo(all orange)likely from a cell phone camera, but there are indeed what are known as "snow" kings being produced in the hobby. With your description of the colors, that sounds like that is exactly what it is. This is from a combination of two genetic recessive traits combined together, amelanism(albino) x axanthism/anerythrism.
Pet stores are RENOWNED for having many of their animals grossly mislabeled, but it seems that this time, that is indeed what it really is.
