Fresh Mint
What Fresh Mint Actually Looks Like
Fresh Mint reads as a pale, clean green with a light, almost watercolor quality. Its RGB values sit very close to white, which means on the wall it presents as a whisper of green rather than a saturated statement. In bright natural light it can appear nearly white with a cool green cast. In lower light it settles into a more noticeable mint, still gentle but with clearer green presence.
Fresh Mint Undertones
The hex and RGB data show that Fresh Mint carries blue and green in fairly even proportion, placing it in cool mint territory. There is no strong yellow push, so it does not veer warm or sage-like. In rooms with warm incandescent lighting the coolness softens somewhat, but this is fundamentally a cool-toned color.
Where Fresh Mint Works Best
Because it reflects a large amount of light, Fresh Mint suits smaller rooms that need to feel bigger, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kids rooms. It also works well in nurseries where a calm, non-stimulating color is the goal. Larger open spaces can handle it too, though at that scale it may read as nearly neutral rather than distinctly green.
Where to put Fresh Mint
Fresh Mint in a bathroom leans into the clean, airy feeling most people already want from the space. White tile and chrome fixtures keep it feeling sharp rather than washed out.
The color is gentle enough for a nursery without reading as babyish. It works for any gender and ages well as the child grows, staying calm rather than loud.
Utility rooms benefit from a color this reflective. Fresh Mint bounces light around a space that often lacks windows and makes the chore feel less dreary.
A pale cool green is easy to spend hours looking at. It does not compete with screens and keeps the room feeling calm without the flatness of a straight white or gray.
What to Pair With Fresh Mint

Colors that clash with Fresh Mint
Fresh Mint is a cool color. Pairing it with warm yellow-toned trim, golden wood floors, or orange-adjacent furnishings creates a visual tension that neither color wins.
Because Fresh Mint is so light, placing it next to a very dark adjacent wall creates an abrupt contrast that can make the mint read even cooler and more clinical.
Common questions
Fresh Mint carries the Benjamin Moore code 2037-70, the hex value is listed in the swatch above, and its precise LRV is 83.67, placing it firmly in the high-reflectance range.
In bright daylight it can read closer to white with a cool green suggestion. In dimmer rooms or north-facing spaces it shows more noticeable mint character. Sampling on your actual wall in different lighting conditions is worth doing before committing.
Yes. Its high light reflectance means it bounces light well and keeps a small space from feeling closed in, which is one of its most practical strengths.
For most walls, eggshell gives you a slight sheen that is easy to clean without amplifying every imperfection. Satin works in bathrooms and laundry rooms where moisture resistance matters more. Flat or matte is best reserved for ceilings or very smooth new drywall.
