Benjamin Moore

Light Mint

2046-70

Light Mint is a pastel green with a blue-leaning undertone and an LRV of 81.84, reflecting a high amount of light while retaining recognizable color. The aqua quality in its base prevents it from reading as a pure green, pushing it toward a cool, watery register. White Heron, Sea Foam, and Soft Chinchilla harmonize naturally within the same tonal range.

Evening Dove or Hale Navy supply dark contrast for millwork or furnishings. Blue Bell or Breath of Fresh Air extend the palette into cooler territory without creating a jarring shift.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
