Off-white (AKA cream) is the color represented by my vote for "other".

Mint looks vintage-ish on some colors, but to my eyes it looks fake (and also bad) paired with reds. CAR, Fiesta, Dakota, all look like a sad Christmas when set against a mint guard. Reds sort of amplify the perception of green-ness.

Cream looks more like an aged white guard (on reds).
