Delta Mint
Also known as: Mint Smoothie , Glacial Water Green , Granny Apple , Delicate Frost
There is a fresh and natural quality to Delta Mint. The gentle, cool green at #C5E6CF rewards eco packaging and finance apps. Match it with pink accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (15.59:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
