Iced Mint
What Iced Mint Actually Looks Like
Iced Mint is a very light, almost white green. At first glance it can read nearly as white, but step closer or hold it against a true white and the cool, soft green reveals itself. It sits at the pale end of the mint family, well away from anything saturated or loud.
Iced Mint Undertones
The color carries a cool green undertone with a faint blue quality. That cool lean means it tends to feel crisp rather than warm. In rooms that already get cool north or east light, it can read closer to a pale icy blue-green. In warmer afternoon light it softens and reads as a straightforward soft mint.
Where Iced Mint Works Best
Because it is so light, Iced Mint works across most spaces without overwhelming. It suits bedrooms where you want a calm, fresh feeling without going stark white. It also works well in bathrooms, where the cool mint quality feels clean and airy. Nurseries and kids rooms are a natural fit too, since the color is gentle rather than bold. If you use it in a living area, good natural light helps keep it from reading flat.
Where to put Iced Mint
Iced Mint brings a restful, clean quality to a bedroom without the starkness of a true white or the weight of a deeper green. Keep bedding in warm whites or soft naturals so the room does not tip too cool.
The cool, crisp character suits a bathroom well. It plays up the clean feeling of the space and works naturally alongside white tile and chrome or brushed nickel fixtures.
At this light value it is quiet and soothing, neither too bold nor too plain. It reads as a gentle color choice that holds up as a child grows without feeling like a hard theme.
A pale, cool green can feel focused without feeling cold. In a room with decent daylight, Iced Mint keeps the space bright while providing just enough color to distinguish it from a plain white wall.

Common questions
Its LRV is 87.15, which is very high. That puts it close to white on the reflectivity scale, so it will keep a room feeling bright and open. It will not make a small room feel dark.
In most daylight conditions it reads as a very soft, pale green rather than white. Next to a true white it clearly has a green quality. In low or artificial light it can lean closer to a cool off-white, and the green becomes less distinct.
Eggshell is a reliable choice for most rooms. It gives a small amount of sheen that helps the color stay fresh-looking without highlighting every wall imperfection. Use matte or flat if you want the color to read as softer and more muted, or semi-gloss on trim to give the woodwork a clean contrast.
