I have been meaning to get back to this thread but kept forgetting.

An Albino is an Albino no matter how it is labeled. What I had stated is the utmost basic generalization.
Not everyone will list the distinction between different colorations.
So, even a Tangerine Albino can be labeled solely as Albino (since it is, after all, an Albino).

In Hondos (normal type coloration), there are the Tricolors, Tangerines, and Bi-colors (a form of Tangerine).
- Tricolors are Red with White, yellow(ish), or Apricot/Peach bands (plus black borders).
- Tangerines are Red with Orange or Red bands (plus black borders).
- Bi-Colors are Tangerines. Sometimes people will use Bi-Color, for most any Tangerine, while others limit the use, of Bi-Color, only for those individuals that are Red with Red bands (or darn close to being same colored).

So, for the Albino morph, each coloration type can be listed as "Albino".
It is just that Tricolors will not (or should not) be listed as "Tangerine Albinos". Thus, it is more appropriate to list them solely as "Albino" or, if a distinction is to be made, list them as "Tricolor Albinos".
