Olive vs mint green

Anyone have a decent picture if these two to compare? My wife has an Olive Oyster Perpetual - is the Mint green lighter or darker?

Thanks!

Probably the best comparison on the internet

I thought the previous gen OP olive was the same as the current DD olive. Should still be fair comparison.

I assume the OP refers to the previous gen Oyster Perpetual in olive green (not my pic).
It definitely seems to be a different shade compared the mint green

Both are beautiful but I prefer the mint. Picks up light in so many fun ways.

Thank you all so much for your feedback. This is correct - My wife has the 34mm OP in Olive green and I was wondering how different this was to the mint green. I went to an AD tonight, but they didn't have one in stock to compare. Thanks again!!

Green is the new blue. Not to hijack, but new Moser.

I wear the olive OP. I’ve tried on the mint and I’d say it seems like an electric green, if that makes sense…

That’s a tough one but I’d go olive if given this hard choice.

The mint is a much nicer shade of green IMO.
