Color harmonies
Rotating the hue in OKLCH while keeping lightness and chroma, mintcream's complementary color is #FFF9FE (close to snow), its analogous colors are #F9FEF6 and #F3FFFF, and its triadic partners are #FBFBFF and #FFFAF5. For text on top, black gives the higher contrast.
| Harmony | Rotation | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Complementary | +180° | #fff9fe |
| Analogous | −30°, +30° | #f9fef6#f3ffff |
| Triadic | +120°, +240° | #fbfbff#fffaf5 |
| Split-complementary | +150°, +210° | #fffaff#fff9f9 |
Computed in OKLCH: the hue is rotated by 180° (complementary), ±30° (analogous), ±120° (triadic) and 180° ±30° (split-complementary) while lightness and chroma stay fixed. Results that fall outside sRGB are brought back with the CSS Color 4 gamut mapping algorithm. Because this uses OKLCH, the values differ from tools that rotate hue in HSL, but every color keeps the same perceived lightness.
Warm or cool?
MintCream is close to neutral: its OKLCH chroma is only 0.012, so its temperature comes from context. The faint 150° hue gives it a slightly cool cast.
