If you look at definition number 3 you will see that all color morphs are deformities of the coloration of the animal. So for a true answer all color morphs are defects because they are not normals.

Sorry had to. I think all were covered as far as I can remember right now.
Deformity implies a disfigurement of the animal in all of those definitions... I agree absolutely that a colour/pattern mutation is a defect (because it is), but not a deformity (unless you want to get really technical down to the mutated proteins which are causing the mutation to be expressed as it is).
