The meaning and features of color
A mint shade is a combination of blue and green; the intensity of the mint shade depends on the predominance of one color or another. The resulting mint is not directly related to the color of the mint leaves.

Like the entire group of green shades, mint has a positive effect on the psyche, induces relaxation, and has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the visual organs.
