EDIT 2/28/2024: I've added a second version of mink for consideration! same concept, just with the area of the marking adjusted for a different colourpoint look.

points & siamese markings are great, but often what I'd really like when designing colourpoint lions is a way to put a lighter mask over the design to create points, rather than the points being limited to just 1 solid colour.

my proposed name for this marking is mink, inspired by mink colourpoint cats. real life mink cats retain some pigment on their torso rather than it being completely white, much like what happens if you use this marking at a medium opacity! an alternate name could also be tonkinese, which is a different name for the same colourpoint pattern.

mink markings are similar in concept to an inverted points or inverted siamese marking, but it isn't actually an inverted version of either of those, hence the need for a unique name. it covers less area on the lion than a true inverted points/siamese would, allowing one to combine mink with points/siamese/burmese to create a nice gradient on the lion


mink would work well in lots of different light or medium colours, the ones listed in the image were just the ones that immediately came to mind.
