THIS sounds like a very unusual case. Quite extraordinary.
All skin and eye colour are controlled by the pigment melanin.
And there are about a dozen genes that control the amount or type of melanin.
Even if there had been convergence of a pale version of the parents' genes, there would have to be some form of white ancestry on both sides for the baby to look this way.
As albinoism has been ruled out, it is more likely that there has been some other mutation that's happened to produce this colouring.
Without further tests, that is, in my opinion, the most rational explanation.
