Benjamin Moore

Spring Mint

2040-70

Spring Mint registers as a very pale blue-green, sitting closer to white than to a saturated color on the wall. Its LRV of 80.1 makes it highly reflective, useful in rooms with limited natural light where it will read as a tinted white. The minty green undertone becomes more apparent next to pure whites such as Chantilly Lace.

It works in shared palettes with White Dove and Cloud White for a nearly monochromatic effect, and introduces subtle contrast beside Palladian Blue or Waterfall. Deeper anchors like Hale Navy or Newburg Green provide necessary weight.

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.
