Mellow Mint

PPG1221-3

Mellow Mint is a pale yellow green that feels springlike without going neon. It reflects light strongly and can freshen a laundry room, breakfast nook, or child bedroom. The yellow softens it.

Mellow Mint handles cream trim, pale maple, or woven baskets. Beside cool gray tile, sample first because the green may turn sharper. Creamy counters make it easier to live with than blue-gray stone.

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.
