The mint color is derived by first mixing the color yellow with the color blue, which then provides a forest green paint. Then when the innocuous-looking but powerful white paint is added??? It births the powerfully cool mint color. The color mint gives us cool memories, good clean air, and the color mint and can be used to achieve the new and contemporary minimalistic interior design approach. The mint color is a seemingly plain, maybe even insignificant color, but it is quite versatile when given the opportunity. I mean, from toothpaste to ice cream, to interior design? Find me another color that can do it like mint! The crazy part about the color mint is the mixture it takes to get it, honestly. Do you know that after the green, yellow paint has been mixed, giving us our first green base, when the white paint is added, depending on how much white is added, we get shades or hues of mint? Yes, the mint color is so deeply versatile that it comes even in hues! The more the white paint, the deeper the mint color, and the less the white paint, the fainter the mint. Yes, I know I rhymed, but that’s what happens when you think of how much fun it is to play around with the color mint! Do you know formally, the mint color was given the backseat? I mean, basically, it was delegated to bathroom and kitchen walls, but today? Society brings the color mint to the forefront, gives its own fashion show if you will. From study rooms to the sitting room, the mint color adds touches of life and vitality to the house’s entire décor to the kid’s room. And not only as wall colors, but it could also be on the sleek back of a cool MacBook, a lounge chair, or even more daring, the color of the house centerpiece, the most prized possession, in whatever shape or form it chooses to take. The color mint is here to stay, and not afraid to shout it out loud! Now let’s talk about the color mint in the form/shape of art. In a swirl of colors, you could see it as the base, taking in other colors and giving them the ability to stand out, or even in a more daring manner, it could be the very frame holding or giving life to other colors. Wherever it is given the floor to shine, it does the job well. The mint color in fashion has opened new doors, and I’m not even pulling legs right now; it basically has birthed new ideas. Ever see a black skin pressed against a cool-looking mint-colored high-slit gown? Or the pale whiteness placed under a bad-ass mint-colored jacket, paired with a black belt and knee-high boots? A total feast for the eyes if you ask me. Whether you’re painting your guest bedroom or making frosting for your kid’s tenth birthday party, mint is the color to go for. It’s been defined as the new cool. Strobes of light from your blend of yellow and blue walls could literally come out as mint-colored; it takes little or no stress to achieve at all. Mint has been said to evoke feelings of freshness and lightness, that is just by being in a mint-colored room, you could feel all feelings of burdens go away or become nonexistent. The mint green creation is also said to have been inspired by nature, maybe a subconscious effort by us, as humans, to stay or remain connected to nature itself. As many of us won’t be caught in the wild, or even a cabin by the woods, maybe just maybe, this is a last desperate act by us to feel connected to Mother Nature. It all depends on the perspective from which you look at the hit. Mint green, which can also be referred to as a muted or pastel shade, represents tranquility or something known as the calm effect on many people to be found in most therapists’ or doctors’ offices. Let’s go back to the angle of mint green and nature; I mean, with just a splash of this mint, you’re literally transferred back into nature itself, add a couple of bird sounds, you could be having a virtually pleasing, real life in the woods experience, well minus the alligators and lack of a restroom. And just because someone decided what a crazy idea it would be to mix these two colors, blue and yellow, to see what would come forth, mint green was birthed to which in a rollercoaster effect has brought an addition to décor, fashion, even the simplest things such as reflections of light and for the most important aspect, tranquility, and calmness. Because someone chose to paint out of the ordinary and dare to explore, new grounds were achieved, and peace was brought to people. So like the mint green, dare to explore, create!
