Benjamin Moore

Crème de Mint

2036-70

Crème de Mint is a soft, pastel green with a clear spearmint undertone. Its LRV of 84.96 places it in the high-reflectance range, so it reads as bright and open on walls. The cool green cast is light enough to function alongside whites without sharp contrast.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Chantilly Lace, Pale Vista, and Forest Green, supporting both tonal and contrasting combinations. This color suits kitchens, bathrooms, and other rooms where a clean, cool-leaning backdrop is needed.
