Pastel Mint

Soft green wash for gentle, calmer sections
About Pastel Mint
I keep Pastel Mint in the "light but not floaty" drawer. It's a very pale green with a gentle, slightly creamy pull, so it reads more like fresh spring leaves than like airy mint vapor. Compared to Hint of Mint, it feels a touch more green-forward and less neutral, and it avoids Green Glint's brighter, leaf-glass clarity.
For production work, this is the panel shade I reach for when you want a soft green that stays clearly green, not just off-white. It's great behind cards, pricing blocks, and article headers in skincare and clean-food brands, and it holds up well in wellness apps where you need calm without the "mint theme" getting too on-the-nose. Versus Jade Palace, Pastel Mint stays less "garden decided" and more airy, with lower richness.
Quick pairing note: it can feel cool alongside very crisp grays, so I usually anchor it with warm neutrals or deeper green text to keep the temperature feeling right.
