Mint Chocolate Chip

436

Mint Chocolate Chip (436) is a light green with a noticeable gray undertone that tempers its freshness, resulting in a muted, milky quality rather than a vivid mint. With an LRV of 69.29, it reflects a good amount of light while maintaining enough depth to read as a definite color on walls. The gray cast keeps it from skewing too cool or too warm, placing it firmly in neutral-green territory.

It coordinates well with White Dove OC-17 for trim, Shakespeare Tan 228 as an accent, and Chantilly Lace OC-65 on ceilings, while Aganthus Green 472 and Cushing Green HC-125 offer tonal green companions at darker values.

Mint Chocolate Chip in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
