Amels are sometimes reffered to as red albinos but other than that i don't think there is an albino morph.
Blizzards and whiteouts are all white with red eyes though. |

True albinos are the amels, all albino means is no black pigment.
Blizzards and whiteouts are a combination of amelanistic and anerythristic, amel gets rid of all blacks and anery gets rid of all reds, so you are left with a white snake that has a faint yellow pigment. Some snakes have been selectively bred to reduce the yellow, I have a male blizzard who was selectively bred by serpenco to get rid of the yellows, but he still does have faint yellow under his chin.
The whiteout I think is bred from a charcoal corn so the yellow is greatly reduced anyway. A good charcoal has no yellow, so a good whiteout will have a lot less yellow. |

No, a true albino has no colour at all. Amels simply lack melanin, which is the pigment that produces dark colours (and give white humans a tan).
I was also wondering if an albino corn snake would be pink or white...? |

Albino means an absence of a pigment, it doesnt have to be black pigment. An amel is an example of a "Red albino". An anery corn is still an albino, but its a "Black albino". |

Blizzards are also bred from charcoals.
A blizzard is Amel + Charcoal and whiteout Amel + Charcoal + Diffused. |

I always thought the white snakes were the albinos but that's possibly because you see white fluffy animals with bright pink eyes.
I've heard of anerys being referred to as black albinos. |
  
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |
