Benjamin Moore

Hint of Mint

505

Hint of Mint is a delicate silver-gray with a touch of mint green that gives it cool, refreshing undertones. At an LRV of 68.72, this bright shade reflects substantial light, creating a sense of openness appropriate for bathrooms, kitchens, and modern or minimalist interiors. The mint influence is subtle but present, adding a slight green cast to the gray base.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl and Paper White for cool neutrals, Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal for contrast, and Palladian Blue for an analogous option.
