Valspar

Cool Mint

V101-2

Cool Mint is a pale blue-green with a softened gray base. It can freshen a small bath, nursery, or laundry area without turning neon. The color stays fairly light, so it can cover more wall area than a saturated mint.

Clean white trim gives it snap. Pale wood makes it gentler. In rooms with little daylight, it may read closer to cool gray-green. Test beside tile, because grout can change the whole impression.

Cool 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.

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.
