Minos Eye

6003-9B

Minos Eye is a light mint green with a clear blue-green base. The clear mint base brings real color to white tile and pale wood. Bathrooms, sunrooms, and laundry spaces fit it when brightness and softness both matter.

On walls, it is more colorful than an off-white but still gentle. White tile helps the mint note stay clean. Pale wood warms it up. In rooms with cream cabinets, compare a sample directly because the green may lose crispness.
