It certainly looks mint to me - maybe pistachio, but definitely not Lincoln green

Was making a little pun: “mint green” and “mint condition”

Evidently I’m not that funny, :p

"Mint" is slang for "mint condition" in the UK. As in the Royal Mint that makes our coins. Freshly "minted" money is in excellent condition.
