Valspar

Deep Mint

6001-8C

Deep Mint is a dark green with a teal lean, much deeper than the name suggests. The green stays cool. Deep Mint can work on lower cabinets, mudroom walls, or a front door with good daylight.

Because it has LRV 12, pale counters or trim matter. Brass and warm wood prevent it from feeling clinical. Watch how Deep Mint behaves near shadows at the ceiling line.

Deep 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.
