Translucent Mass Mint

Latin trans-lūcēre, to shine through — present-participle of translucere. As a color modifier, translucent implies a clear-and-light-passing quality where the hue allows partial light-transmission through its visual surface. Sits at the crisp-and-clear end of the grid, parallel to pellucid and vitreous in usage.

Latin missa, Mass-of-the-Eucharist. As a color modifier, mass implies a Eucharistic-and-liturgical-feast quality, the visual register of Roman-Catholic-and-Anglican-Mass Eucharistic-and-liturgical-feast altar-and-vestment-and-incense liturgical-Mass surfaces under Mass-and-Eucharistic-feast altar-candle-and-incense light. Sits at the modifier-and-time end of the grid, parallel to vigil and vesper 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.
