Delta Mint
Also known as: Mint Smoothie, Glacial Water Green, Granny Apple, Delicate Frost
Delta Mint is what happens when green turns pale and gentle. The effect is fresh and natural, made for 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.

Where Delta Mint works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: A brand green signals freshness; deepen it for finance, brighten it for eco-consumer products.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
