OTOH my Mexican Black King is one of the best-tempered and easiest to care for snakes I have, and prefers to throw a wrap of her tail around your hand or arm and just hang out. Even in full gray she can be handled. She along with my BP's are the go-to snake if someone wants to touch one but is a bit leery about it. 
Awesome Cali!
Mopar, my MBK, was a puppy dog when held. He loved being stroked even hahahaha.... just the most chill reptile besides a BP you can ever own. He left me too soon due to a twisted colon....... so I'm more than likely going to get another MBK to replace him. He was never aggressive, unless he was eating, a few times my finger was chewed on lol. When he shed, he was still calm and cool...... talking about MBK's make me miss him, so I really am thinking about getting another. Maybe one a little older, so I know it won't have a twisted colon issue.

3rd is Chocolate het Albino.
Awe, I almost picked up a pinstripe phase Cali for free that the owner feared due to it's "nippy and aggressive" nature...... 
Guess they didn't know that's what is in store with a kingsnake lol..... I would've adopted it, but by the time I saw the ad and responded, it was rehomed already... oh well....
I have seen High White's and Chocolates..... both were not as pretty as your's... and I'm not blowing smoke either xD
By the pic you shared of the Albino... I'd say it's a Lavender.... but I'm not an expert when it comes to Albino's...

I'm definitely hooked on kings now  My BPs are a long way off from being breedable size but I've thought of picking up an adult female Thayeri at some point to breed with my male a bit down the line. I love the polymorphism they have going on. Sadly I think that a lot of the kings are kind of underrated and not in huge demand...

I agree, they are underrated...
I'm seriously definitely absolutely picking up another king this sunday (reptile show). What species of king, that I don't know.

3rd is Chocolate het Albino.
1. I wanna say is a plain Albino. I believe the lavenders show up darker.
2. Is the snake white in person? I'd say if the snake is more yellowish in person, it's a banana. Unless your white balance is that off?
5. The pic you have higher up I believe is a coastal. I think the browning you are seeing is a product of age. My plain cali is 12+ years and has started to brown more is his black areas. His whites are still white though.
My personal favs(not in and particular order):
-Cali King
-Grey Bands
-Az Mtn King
-Yar
