Peppermint Cream (CiM488) is a pale, yellowish green opaque colour. It is soft and creamy, and my rods were very well behaved, not shocking at all in the flame. It reminds me quite a bit of an older colour called Linen, except that it has a greenish cast to it.
Nothing of any significance happens when you reduce Peppermint Cream.
This colour is a touch lighter than Dirty Martini and just a shade or two yellower.
When I encased Peppermint Cream after putting silver on it, it cracked under my Effetre 006 Clear. This doesn't mean you shouldn't encase it, but it definitely means that you shouldn't encase it after putting silver on it. This has happened to me with other colours that are otherwise perfectly compatible like Effetre Petroleum Green and CiM Linen. Just proceed with caution, and make a test bead before embarking on a big run of beads the way you always should anyway.
Peppermint Cream seems to be an average base colour for silver glass. It fumed a bit when I reduced the reduction frit, and the TerraNova2 frit started to strike, but no magic happened.
Peppermint Cream is not terribly reactive, but it does separate on top of Tuxedo and Ivory. On top of Tuxedo, it has a milk-moustache sort of appearance, almost translucent.
Other colours (Ivory, Opal Yellow, Copper Green, Tuxedo) all seem to spread out on top of it.
Also, you can see in the Tuxedo dots and stringer lines that Peppermint Cream made Tuxedo bleed out into it quite a bit.
Here are some other beads that include some Peppermint Cream:
