Crème de Menthe

8003-28A

Creme de Menthe is a pale yellowed off-white with the faintest green cast. White tile can reveal the soft green tucked under the cream. Creme de Menthe works in kitchens, utility rooms, and sunrooms that need a clean but warmer wall color.

True white shows the cream. Natural wood and muted sage help the undertone make sense. Give it a full day of changing light.

Crème de Menthe 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.
