Mink Colors (Tonkinese)

Minks are pointed cats with much darker bodies and less (although still apparent) contrast between body color and point color. Mink is a halfway-house between solid color (Burmese) and Colourpoint (Siamese). In theory, Tonkinese occur in versions of all Burmese (solid) colors - the list below gives the Burmese equivalent name for some of the mink colors. Mink-color cats have blue, aqua or blue green eyes.

Blue Mink: Ash blue (with warm fawn tones) body, medium/slate blue points.
Champagne Mink: (Lilac) buff cream/light tan body, points golden tan to milk chocolate
Honey Mink: (Chocolate/Chestnut)
Natural Mink: (Black/Seal) Medium brown body, deep seal brown points.
Platinum Mink: (Lavender/Lilac) Pale silver/pearly gray body (with light fawn tones), points pale dove gray to light taupe gray.
Red Mink: Pale red body, darker red points with ghost tabby markings
Cinnamon Mink
Fawn Mink: A "hotter version" of cream.
