How to hunt mint
Mint is a design color, not a natural one, so hunt where people choose colors on purpose: cafes, salons, vintage shops, and pastel shopfronts. Anywhere styled to look retro will have mint somewhere in it. Bright even light keeps it from turning grey.
What mint gets confused with
If it is darker or more saturated, it is plain green or teal. Mint is pale and slightly blue — think of green with a lot of white stirred in.
