Well sometimes black goldfish loss their black and it turns gold. Never heard of one loosing the gold color to white. But he looks healthy and happy so I wouldn't worry. I'd be interested in what others think of this.
 
Pigment loss and goldfish and other fish is a result of not enough lighting. Try to give it some light, but make sure that it is not sun otherwise you'll have an algae outburst.
 
I have a lot of golds that go gold and white always with in the 1st year. Mine are all pool raised and growth rate is pushed. Tanked goldfish have a slightly slower growth rate than pool raised. But they still keep growing.
