Usually, I associate mint with these little lovelies at derby time...

Variations of the shade are everywhere, from design...

Mint has translated from Spring to Fall (Winter) very well. In the warmer months the color comes off as sea-like and light as air. At this time of year it takes on an icy, bright feel. Wearing mint in the colder months is a matter of strategically choosing the weight and mix of textures and fabrics. For example: corduroy or suede mint is perfect. Chiffon could look silly. Mint in winter plays well with colors that ground it: camel, navy, gray, black, and even leopard prints.
