Lined Orion 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.

Greek Ὠρίων, hunter-of-the-myth. As a color modifier, orion implies a winter-hunter-and-belt-and-shoulder quality, the visual register of winter-Orion-and-Belt-of-Orion hand-winter-hunter-and-belt-and-shoulder winter-Orion-and-Belt-of-Orion-and-Bortle-1-sky orion-and-winter-hunter-and-belt-and-shoulder surfaces under winter-Orion-and-Belt-of-Orion-and-Bortle-1-sky January-and-February-winter-zenith winter-constellation-light. Sits at the modifier-and-cosmic end of the grid, parallel to rigel and cygnus 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.
