Mapped Dome Mint

Latin mappa, cloth / napkin — past-participle of map. As a color modifier, mapped implies a clear-and-cartographic-and-surveyed quality, the crisp color of Ordnance-Survey-and-USGS scientific-and-cadastral cartographic-and-topographic mapping-and-projection. Sits at the crisp-and-mapped end of the grid, parallel to plotted and surveyed in usage.

Latin domus, house. As a color modifier, dome implies a hemispherical-vaulted-roof quality, the visual register of Roman-Pantheon-and-Hagia-Sophia-and-Taj-Mahal hand-built hemispherical-roof dome-and-cupola architectural surfaces under monumental-dome interior-and-exterior architectural light. Sits at the modifier-and-architecture end of the grid, parallel to cupola and arch 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.
