Mint blue is a soft, pale blue-green with a cool, airy quality, hex #98FBCB, lighter and more washed-out than a typical seafoam shade. It has the translucent, watery look of shallow ocean water over white sand.
What is the meaning of the color Mint Blue?
Mint as a color name entered English in the early 20th century, drawn from the pale green of the mint plant’s dried leaves, though blue-shifted versions like mint blue emerged later as fashion and interior design began blending cool greens with icy blues. The color gained wider recognition through mid-century American home decor, appearing in kitchen appliances and bathroom tile during the 1950s pastel trend popularized by manufacturers such as General Electric. Tiffany and Co. anchored a closely related shade in public consciousness through its signature robin’s-egg packaging, first introduced in the 19th century, which helped establish pale blue-greens as markers of refinement and calm.
