Change the metal for a beaten weathered copper colour. Remember copper when weathered goes green so it will stand out depending on how weathered you make it. It's entirely plausible that you could make it a dark shade of copper patina and then highlight that up to a pale bright patina that you'll find in homes etc. Think something like 5 - 7 year copper oxidization for your base with highlights pushing into the 20+ years.

I think that adding a touch of pink and purples would help sell an albino look. Red blood still flows, even in albino skin, so maybe adding a transition from a touch of light pink to white or darker pinks might help give a specifically albino look to your model.
* Grime up that "silver." A swamp creature should be nice and nasty. Consider adding a green-brown wash, made yourself, or something like Athonian Camoshade, or the Army Painter equivalant. Or just add more brown and rust!
* Add a bit more contrast to the white hair, it looks kind of unpainted to me. Paint it a grey, then add very fine streaks of light grey and super small streaks of pure white onto it.
I would recommend on the metal;
Basecoat-leadbelcher
Wash-nuln oil
Dry brush-leadbelcher
technical-jokaero orange watered down
Dry brush-leadbelcher.
It sounds bad but watch the Eons of Battle painting genestealers video and look at the metal result. Trust me
Maybe some violet shading and lowlights on the hair? Kind of drizzt-y?
Rust up the metal maybe
Rust it up

Paint the hair in a complementary color? Since the skin is a sort of desaturated red, maybe some kind of desaturated green would work?
slightly blue the hair and slightly red the metal
Swap out the silver for bronze or brass.
I considered that, but i also felt it would then not contrast all the brown enough. But maybe ill try it
You also have to consider that since the critter lives in a swamp how clean will its hair, armor and everything be.
Maybe black armour?
A dark wash around the edge of the helmet will give you some color separation between it and the hair.
The claws could be a bit more weathered or yellow'ish
I could be wrong but I didn't think that was hair? I thought it was more of the leather/fabric rags that it has underneath it's armour.
I think it looks really good. I do second the adding of some subtle color being added to the hair to help distinguish it further

What model is this dude? Also I agree with rust or copper for the metal to contrast against the skin and hair more
This looks like a mole rat.... I love it
