minty...

To me, mint green is a colour of calm vintage nostalgia. I think of kitchen gadgets from the 1950s and pistachio ice cream. Mint green manages to make a fun and playful statement while also remaining quite subtle. When used on modern materials, mint green has a retro feel, which might not be for everyone. But if you love the retro look (like I do… I’m a bit obsessed), it’s a great, unexpected punch colour for a stove, bathtub, light fixture, etc. If you are painting mint green onto a piece of old wood furniture or a vintage chandelier, it tends to create a more tranquil, aged look reminiscent of a worn-down barn or a 1930s lace dress. Mint green is surprisingly versatile and a great candidate for a hip and unique colour scheme.
