Default weird color change

i have this goldfish that is changing colors. he started out mostly orange with a little white. now he is turning white. it wasnt like an over night thing though. it sort of happend gradually, and its not a fungus. i read that koi color change thing, is changing color normal for goldfish too? he kind of looks cool. if it is normal, i hope he turns all white. there are no symptoms of him being sick or anything either.

They are simply a bubble eye goldfish. The bubbles really have no purpose, just like the bubble crowns on pearlscales, etc. They are filled with fluid that keeps them puffed
