Lined Vela 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.

Latin vela, sails-of-the-Argo. As a color modifier, vela implies a southern-hemisphere-and-Argo-sail-and-supernova-remnant quality, the visual register of Vela-supernova-remnant-and-Argo-sails hand-southern-hemisphere-and-Argo-sail-and-supernova-remnant Vela-supernova-remnant-and-Argo-sails-and-southern-Milky-Way vela-and-southern-hemisphere-and-Argo-sail surfaces under Vela-supernova-remnant-and-Argo-sails-and-southern-Milky-Way Southern-Cross-and-southern-zenith southern-stellar-light.

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.
