Anyone have experience with it? The depiction on their website looks more than minty to me.

The ones I’ve ordered from them have been fine. It’s hard to get green right in photos.

Cool. I have a sonic blue Strat body coming and think mint looks best. My current is parchment.

If you want a mint green pickguard, that's what you get these days. Some are greener than others. Some are comedically green, like wasabi.
Real-deal older pickguards that have aged are not at all green...they're more of a gray color, like poi.

There is company in Itay, I think, that claims to have perfected the mint green celluloid based on analysis of the real vintage mint green celluloid.

Fender originally got their WBW pickguard material from Del Mar Co., made in Italy. The white layer was not completely stable, so pigment from the black layer below would leach through into the top white layer; that's what caused them to take on a grayish cast.
Makes sense that an Italian company would make a good replica!
