Benjamin Moore

Soft Mint

2041-60

Soft Mint is a light blue-green with an LRV of 73.94, placing it in the high-reflectance range where it reads as a tinted near-white on walls. The green component is slightly stronger than the blue, giving it a distinctly aqua lean rather than a sky-blue appearance. In artificial warm light, the green undertone becomes more prominent.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace and Simply White for clean trim contrast. Seafoam and Spring Mint maintain a cohesive cool-green scheme, while Metropolitan or Hale Navy can provide darker counterpoints without clashing.
