Squared Flash Mint

Latin quadrātus, four-sided — past-participle of square. As a color modifier, squared implies a clear-and-rectilinear-and-orthogonal quality where the hue carries the visual register of right-angle architectural-and-grid alignment. Sits at the crisp-and-balanced end of the grid, parallel to aligned and plumb in usage.

Middle English flasshen, to-splash-or-burst. As a color modifier, flash implies a sudden-and-bursting-and-bright quality, the visual register of lightning-strike-and-camera-flash hand-sudden-and-bursting-and-bright lightning-strike-and-camera-flash-and-magnesium-powder flashed-and-sudden-and-bursting surfaces under lightning-strike-and-camera-flash-and-magnesium-powder split-second-burst storm-cloud-and-studio-light. Sits at the modifier-and-mood end of the grid, parallel to spark and blaze 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.
