Tourmaline is a shade of mink. It is a light colored mink with beige tones. Among the lightest shades of mink are rovalia, which has a faint pink cast, tourmaline, azurene, which has a faint violet/lavender cast, and white, which is more stark white in color.

These names of light shades are of older use, I think. Now a very light shade other than white is often called pearl.

If you Google "mink colors" or "mink shades" you can find pictures of pelts and color names arranged from lightest to darkest (ranch, black).
