Color Study: Mint

My longtime love affair with mint is seeing a spike in lust activity thanks to the fashion industry. Everything everywhere is mint! I will surely hate mint by the time this is all said & done with, but for now, I’m reveling in it. I can’t remember when my pastel obsession clearly started. It was long ago, and it was never an overlying obsession – just one that kind of sat around in the back. Mint green with dark red is still one of my favorite combination. That is to say, this trend is not new, which kind of makes it “not a trend,” to me. Case in point: almost exactly three years ago, I was writing about pastels. And then again 3+ years before that. So, yeah. Not a new thing.  Shamelessly, however, I am about to eat more internet space with some additional offerings to the gods of slightly lighter colors.
