I think albino and melanistic work fine. The real-world definitions of these words simply mean a lack of (albino) or excessive amount (melanistic) of pigment, not necessarily completely black and white. While the first thing you probably think of is an animal with pure white or black fur, there are times (in humans and otherwise) where that's just not the case.
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - Frank Herbert
