Valspar

Paris Mint

6002-3B

Valspar Paris Mint is more muted yellow green than candy mint, with a khaki softness that makes it easy to live with. Try it in a pantry, bath, or small sitting room that needs gentle color. The green stays quiet.

Because it sits just above the mid range, it keeps decent brightness without looking washed out. A warm white casing and unlacquered brass suit it.

Paris 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.
