As a color modifier, orderly implies a clear-and-arranged-and-organized quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-ordered-and-classified placement.

Greek plinthos, brick / base. As a color modifier, plinth implies a column-base-and-pedestal quality, the visual register of Greek-and-Roman-Plinth hand-cut column-base-and-statue-pedestal Doric-and-Ionic-and-Corinthian classical-plinth architectural surfaces under classical-plinth column-base light. Sits at the modifier-and-architecture end of the grid, parallel to pillar and column 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.
