Mint on my Mind

The other day, while driving to work, I saw the cutest little, mint green Fiat and ever since then, I can't seem to get Mint off my mind!  Ralph Lauren paired mint with buttercream yellow, slate blue and soft peach in his 2012 Spring Collection.  And who could resist the adorable 1920's inspired hats?!

Love the mint paired with peach









In the 2012, Spring color report,
Pantone included this lovely shade of mint,
and named it Margarita. 
       

     Tip: When picking MINT make sure it has some gray  
        in it, this will keep it from looking like an  
     Easter egg or your mother's seafoam green from 1989!





 

Here are a couple of my favorite Mint pairings

MINT & PEACH


 
This bathroom works because everything is neutral in soft grey and white, so
the colors can pop and doesn't seem overwhelming.  Just use the color in
small doses as special accents so it doesn't feel color overload.

Just a few accents of peach give this mint and grey office a simple look.

I Love this vintage color palette of peach and mint.  So pretty and subtle.
