I really like the concept of Pastel being the new name for Albinos, and I also heavily vibe with Stygian for Melans out of a preconceived connection I have with Monster Hunter's Stygian Zinogre, which is just a black and red version of a normally blue and yellow monster, but of course as mentioned in a previous reply, there is still the origin of the word to consider as being opposite of wanting Melans to not be seen as evil(although that was admittedly something new I learned today!)
I suppose an alternate suggestion I might have for Melanistic is Midnight? Only issue I could see arising there is with Midnight Lycanroc ending up being called Midnight Midnight Lycanroc(moonmoon vibes tempt me further tho)
