I was looking for an album cover for Free Ride by the Edgar Winter Group.
That's where I learned Edward has albinism, as does his brother, Johnny.
And that's where I learned about the opposite of albinism exists, melanism.
There's also leucism, which is like albinism, but is due to a decrease of or absence of all pigment, not just melanin.
Albinos are typically represented as evil in popular culture. Think of the murderous dreadlocked ninjas from The Matrix and Silas from The DaVinci Code.
I'd make a well-intentioned joke about being blind to color, but you know, that's a real thing too.
