All albino frogs are typically yellow and not pink because they are usually green, which means their dark pigments are blues and their light pigments are yellows. So, Im not sure where you are getting your information but you are a bit confused about it.
They are still not a true albino. True Albinos are extremely rare. referred to as albino and being albino are two different aspects. Albino Pacman are plentiful and never rare yellow forms anyway. Although if both parents carry the albino gene than it becomes past to the offspring, but not all will be Albinos if both parents are not and so on and so forth. The term Albino means that the animal lacks ALL COLOR PIGMENTS which these frogs do not. The pink or red eyes means nothing in this sence because they still have pigments of color in the skin.

If it were to be a large amount of dark color pigments then why is there none present?
