Benjamin Moore

Tint of Mint

851

Tint of Mint from Benjamin Moore is a very pale green-white with a cool, minty undertone that reads almost neutral on the wall. At an LRV of 81.68, it sits near the top of the reflectance scale, functioning close to a tinted white while still carrying a visible green cast in full daylight. The green is restrained enough that it does not dominate but shifts the overall tone away from warm or stark whites.

It coordinates with White Dove, Gray Owl, Hale Navy, Palladian Blue, and Soft Fern.

Tint of Mint 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.
