This was called Silver in the prototype phase of 1.17. But the pink one was called albino, so names were probably very early development. (Albino's eyes are not dark, they are pink. It is called Leucistic if the eyes are colored, which they were even in the prototype phase.)

I saw some pictures of axolotls that never made it into the game, and I thought that maybe I could use the pictures to re-create what they could have been had they been added to the final release of 1.17
The palette is arguably nicer than most White axolotl textures which are just a vanilla axolotl that had the saturation turned down. This one is Bluer than those usually are, so it looks nicer.

The closest axolotl skin by another artist:

It is less blue, but they did a good job, so maybe see if you like theirs better.

I personally love this skin. I would put it in my top 10, maybe top 5 axolotl skins. Maybe top 3, but that's a hard sell. I love the pink vanilla one a lot. I also really like this one, my second melanoid, my latest wild, and my latest bamboo one.

Want to see it in game without replacing a vanilla axolotl? Sounds impossible, right? Well, no: www.planetminecraft.com/mod/addolotls-bedrock/
