Menthol Kiss

Lighter mint-aqua than Beach Glass, airy blue-green
About Menthol Kiss
I keep coming back to Menthol Kiss when I want that "mint aftertaste" feeling on screen, the kind you notice instantly but it never gets loud. It's lighter than Bay, but it also carries more minty green in the mix, so it reads softer and rounder. Versus Beach Glass, it's not as steely or restrained, it has a fresher, slightly sweeter saturation and a cooler breath that feels more playful than clinical.
Compared with Ice Cube, Menthol Kiss holds onto more green warmth, so the cyan edge doesn't snap as hard. That makes it a nice choice for consumer health and beauty product UIs, plus wellness dashboards and light-mode settings screens where you want clarity without the "winter" harshness. I also use it in dashboards and finance apps when the design needs a calm mint surface to separate sections, not a stronger teal statement like Aqua Fiesta.
Pair it with clean whites and soft grays, and watch how it behaves next to more desaturated teals so it doesn't look slightly washed out on certain displays. the one you reach for when you need fresh air, not ice.
