Mint Twist
Also known as: Cool Juniper , Thermal Aqua , Float Your Boat , Catarina Green
On screen, Mint Twist registers as fresh and natural: a soft green at home in wellness brands and eco packaging. Set it against a pink accent when you want the combination to pop. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (11.59:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Mint Twist works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Interiors: Soft and low-saturation: a candidate for full walls, where vivid colors overwhelm.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece, a top, scarf, or shoes, against neutral basics.
- Branding: Reads as growth and sustainability, at home in wellness, food, and environmental brands.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
