While your goldfish may not turn completely white without any light whatsoever, they may become much paler. Goldfish do change colour as a response to light levels as they have chromatophores which produce the pigments that give colouration, or reflect light.
They do get some of their colouration from the types of food they eat as some of the food may contain pigments called carotenoids, or the food has had a pigment called canthaxanthin added to it.
So some folks say. I prefer to keep my fish happy and give them as near to natural conditions as possible.
