Mint
Also known as: Hisui Kingfisher, Jess, Green Velour, Dark Mountain Meadow
A lively green with a fresh and natural character, Mint works beautifully for wellness brands and eco packaging. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a pink keeps a palette from feeling one-note. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (8.09:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Mint works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- 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.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
