Salubrious Tent Mint

Latin salūbris, healthful — adjectival suffix -ous. As a color modifier, salubrious implies a clear-and-healthful-and-fresh quality, the crisp color of Alpine-and-Sea-air health-resort and Mediterranean-coast spa-and-thalassotherapy outdoor environment. Sits at the crisp-and-wholesome end of the grid, parallel to healthful and bracing in usage.

Old French tente, stretched-cloth. As a color modifier, tent implies a stretched-canvas-shelter quality, the visual register of Bedouin-and-Mongolian nomadic-and-encampment stretched-canvas-and-felt-and-rope tent-and-yurt surfaces under desert-and-steppe nomadic-encampment open-sky light. Sits at the modifier-and-place end of the grid, parallel to hut and bivouac in usage.

The genus Mentha — peppermint, spearmint, apple mint, water mint — the cooling herb whose menthol gives it that quality at the molecular level. The color refers to fresh peppermint leaves before drying: a clean, slightly cool green with the matte finish of trichome-rich leaf surface. Lighter than basil, cooler than parsley, with the mojito-and-Pimm's association of a herb tied to summer drinks across two continents.
