Valspar

Wedding Mint

5006-3B

Wedding Mint is a muted light green with a gray, celery-leaf softness. Fresh, but quiet. Bedrooms, baths, or kitchen walls suit it where pale green should behave like a neutral.

White oak, cream trim, and brushed nickel sit easily beside it. In shaded rooms, it can look more gray. Avoid pairing it with strong yellow beige unless the warmth is intentional.

Wedding 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.
