Valspar

Garden Mint

V097-1

Garden Mint is a pale green-white with a soft yellow-gray base. It is fresh, not candy. The brightness makes it useful in baths, laundry rooms, or sunrooms that need a light wall color with more personality than white.

Against cool tile, the mint note reads cleaner. Near cream cabinets, it warms up. Use simple white trim and sample near grout, because grout can decide whether this green feels crisp.

Garden 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.
