mint green

Light cool green

Mint green is a pale, cool green with bluish undertones, named for its resemblance to the leaves of the mint plant.

It sits between seafoam and pastel green on the color spectrum and evokes freshness and cleanliness.

The color became popular in mid-20th-century interior design and remains associated with vintage aesthetics, though it also appears in contemporary fashion and décor.

The bathroom tiles were a soothing mint green.
