Minty Green

2042-70

Minty Green (2042-70) is a pastel blue-green with cool aqua undertones that distinguish it from warmer mint shades. With an LRV of 83.41, it is among the lighter colors in the green family and reflects substantial light, making spaces feel open. The blue content is strong enough that in certain lighting conditions, the color can appear more aqua than green.

It contains very little gray or yellow, keeping the hue clean and bright. White Heron OC-57 provides a complementary warm white, Misty Teal 2046-60 deepens the blue-green theme, and Rainy Afternoon 1575 offers a neutral gray counterpoint. Quiet Moments 1563 also works as a coordinating wall color.
