Minty Delight

5006-5A

Minty Delight is a light green-white with a subdued mint note. Trim decides the read. It can refresh a bedroom, bath, or small kitchen without taking over.

Because the color is very light, surrounding whites decide how green it appears. Use clean trim for a clear contrast. Warm oak will make it feel earthier. Cool LEDs may push it toward a sharper mint.

Minty Delight 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.
