Minty Fresh Inspiration

Isn’t mint a relaxing color? I’m seeing it everywhere at the moment and simply love it. It doesn’t need to be mixed with other pastel tones, it’s fun to pair with bright orange and lime too. There are so many hues and tints and tones of those hues that you can mix with mint. See if you can come up with some palettes of your own below. Here is some inspiration to get you started.

    I love mint as a colour inspiration. It is so appropriate now for Spring parties as it combines so well with many shades and hues. I especially love a minty green and purple combo and varying shades of mint with orange is really cool too. Thanks for the morning inspiration!

    I don’t think you can beat mint twinned with a deep shade of sunshine yellow – although I suppose they shouldn’t work together, I think they’re a natural “fit” and are absolutly spot on for Spring (always assuming Spring every arrives – we just had a hailstorm in London).

    This was just what I needed to see today! My favorite is mint with a super sunny bright yellow. I’m working on a huge batch of bow ties for summer weddings and have mint on the brain, so it is fun to brainstorm accent colors to put with it!

    Mint is lovely, and I love it with a strong lemon colour.

    Yes! i am loving mint right now. It’s such a great, minimal way to add color. Not too overpowering.

    Love the mint with pin or coral. So pretty and springy. Smythe has a mint jacket this season that I’d give my eye teeth for (sold out in my size.)

    I love Mint. It has always been one of my favorite colors. Lol, I have a few. I refuse to have just one. :)

    I love mint too. I am going to be using it a few time in my clients weddings this year. It´s a really fresh colour and I love it. For me, I´d mix it with a bit of peach and a splash of gold.

    Love your blog, Holly!
