Valspar

Spearmint Haze

5006-5C

Spearmint Haze is a muted green with a gray-blue veil over it. The gray-blue veil keeps the mint from looking too sweet. Bedrooms, baths, or mudroom cabinetry can take it when a clear mint would be too bright.

Shade makes it cooler and quieter. With daylight, the green becomes more botanical. Use clean white trim or natural oak nearby. Cream finishes may make it look less fresh.

Spearmint Haze 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.
