Sherwin Williams

Retro Mint

SW 9036

Sherwin-Williams Retro Mint is a mid-tone green with cool blue undertones that give it a clean, minty character. At an LRV of 54, it reflects moderate light and sits in the mid-range, reading as neither too light nor too dark on walls. This makes it usable for bathrooms, kitchens, and sunrooms.

Its blue lean distinguishes it from warmer sage greens, pushing it toward a cooler aquatic tone. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Aloe for a lighter analogous step, Restful as a more muted companion, Alabaster for clean trim, Naval for a deep contrasting blue, and Shoji White for warm off-white trim.
