Benjamin Moore

Spearmint Ice

596

Spearmint Ice is a pale blue-green with frosty, slightly cool undertones that lean toward mint rather than true aqua. With an LRV of 78.16, it reflects a high proportion of light and reads as a near-white tint in well-lit rooms, though its green-blue cast remains visible against pure whites. The color holds its character best under natural daylight.

It pairs cleanly with White Diamond and Silver Marlin for a tonal cool palette, while Hale Navy offers strong value contrast. Lemon Chiffon and Pale Oak can offset its coolness with subtle warmth.

Spearmint Ice 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.

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.
