Hatchbox mint blue has a nice light blue/green color. On some sites it is sold as blue. Even the label on the roll it says blue. This blue has a Pantone code of 318C. This color slightly reacts to UV light.
Hatchbox filament is very easy to print and the layers come out smooth. It is a well trusted affordable filament. Hatchbox continues to have a labelling issue where several shades will all be called green or blue sometimes with no clarification. Be careful when buying Hatchbox for this reason. Hatchbox comes on a plastic roll in 1KG sizes.
