Mint Cream color codes
Mint Cream color meaning
Mint Cream is a soft and airy white — a cool color at 98% lightness and 100% saturation. Like other whites, it is linked with purity, simplicity and space. It makes rooms and layouts feel larger and cleaner, and lets other colors stand out.
Because it is soft and airy, mint cream works best for backgrounds, walls, baby rooms, wedding stationery and large calm surfaces. As text on white it would be too faint (1.0:1), so use it for fills and backgrounds and put black text on top (20.6:1).
