Mint Frost

6001-3B

Mint Frost is misleading by name. The color reads more like a light khaki-beige with a yellow-green cast than a clean mint. It can work in casual bedrooms, entries, or rooms with natural fiber rugs.

In daylight, the green undertone may appear slightly stronger. Cream trim keeps it quiet. A cleaner white gives more definition. Blue-gray finishes nearby can fight a warm neutral.

Mint Frost 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.
