Lined Tent Mint

Old English līne, line / cord — past-participle of line. As a color modifier, lined implies a clear-and-coordinated-and-supported quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-lined-and-supported textile-or-print surface. Sits at the crisp-and-finished end of the grid, parallel to trim and coordinated 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.
