This is a solid pale green colourway called "Mentha", where we get the name for "Mint", like "Mentha Pipertia" (Peppermint). The Latin Mentha or Greek "Minthe" is "also the name of an unfortunate Greek nymph. It seems that Mentha was beloved of Haides. When Mentha boasted that she was nobler in form and more excellent in beauty than Persephone, the goddess was not pleased. Poor Mentha was trampled into the ground by the goddess and metamorphosed into a mint plant."
