It's probably just me, but I don't think "chroma" is a good idea. In french, a shiny pokémon is a "pokémon chromatique". I can easily just say "chroma" instead of the entire word to talk about a shiny, so having "chroma" for melanistic/albino Pokémon (I don't know for which you proposed chroma tbh) will be very confusing for me, because that word is for shiny in my case '-' If someone say they have a chroma pokémon, I'll assume they have a shiny, not a melan/albino.
This is an excellent point that should be considered! Of course, this is an English-centric website, but how these words translate to commonly-spoken languages is something to keep in mind.
