Valspar

Mint Whisper

5008-7A

Mint Whisper is a pale aqua-green with a cool, watery undertone. The watery aqua undertone suits rooms with tile, chrome, and bright daylight. Use it for bathrooms, laundry areas, or a ceiling where a hint of color would lift the room.

It is light enough for broader wall use, but the mint shows clearly beside warm wood. White tile and chrome suit it. Cream trim can dull the aqua, so compare samples directly. In shadow, it becomes softer and grayer.

Mint Whisper 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.
