What is Mint Cream?

Mint Cream is one of the named colors defined by the CSS Color specifications (keyword “mintcream”), so every modern browser understands it without a hex code.

Its saturation is only 100%, so it behaves as a neutral, with 100% saturation (vivid) and 98% lightness (very light). It sits between warm and cool.

Compared with the other white colors in the Aqeeb Studio library, it is lighter than 80% of them and more saturated than 40% of them.

Its relative luminance is 0.978, which makes it a very light color. That is above the 0.179 crossover point at which black and white text have equal contrast, so black text has the advantage.

Mint Cream counts as a light color: its HSL lightness is 98% and its relative luminance is 0.978. Black text reads best on it (20.56:1 contrast).

Colors that go with Mint Cream

Complementary color

≈ Lavender Blush#FFF5FA

Analogous colors

Analogous colors are neighbors on the wheel, 30° either side of the base hue. They blend smoothly and are easy to combine in backgrounds, gradients and illustrations.

≈ Honeydew#F5FFF5 ≈ Azure#F5FFFF

Triadic colors

A triadic scheme uses three hues spaced 120° apart. It is lively yet balanced, and works best when one color leads and the other two act as accents.

≈ Ghost White#FAF5FF ≈ Seashell#FFFAF5

Split-complementary colors

Split-complementary keeps the base color and uses the two colors on either side of its complement (150° and 210°). The contrast is strong but gentler than a direct complement.

≈ Lavender Blush#FFF5FF ≈ Very Light Pink#FFF5F5

Tetradic colors

A tetradic (rectangle) scheme combines two complementary pairs at 0°, 60°, 180° and 240°. It offers variety but needs one dominant color to stay balanced.

≈ Alice Blue#F5FAFF ≈ Lavender Blush#FFF5FA ≈ Seashell#FFFAF5

Monochromatic variants

Monochromatic variants keep the same hue and saturation and only change lightness, which makes them dependable for UI scales and subtle layered designs.
