Poisonous Mints

Poisonous Mints is the green you notice on a fresh candy wrapper under bright store LEDs. It's light and punchy, but it doesn't go full yellow-lime like Frogger or Opulent Lime, and it doesn't sit darker and more controlled like King Lizard. The undertone feels mint-cool, with a slightly cyan lean that keeps it from turning "sunlit" or signboard-loud.

I use it when a UI needs a green that reads instantly without drifting toward the warmer go-state neighbors. Think warehouse picking screens with status chips, health and nutrition apps for "safe to use" moments, and motion-heavy onboarding where the accent has to stay crisp over gradients and camera noise. It also works well in product media for labeling freshness, because the cool tint keeps the label from blending into springy yellows.

One caution: on very dark backgrounds it can look a bit too "spray-painted." Add a little contrast via darker borders or pair it with soft off-whites so it doesn't feel flat. the one you reach for when you want green with a colder, cleaner lift.
