ICE MINT

Jotun · 7063

The Analysis

Ice Mint is a high-LRV (68.69) colour, meaning it reflects a significant amount of light back into the room to make spaces feel bright and open. Its yellow-green undertones prevent it from looking clinical, providing a crisp, airy atmosphere that physically expands the feeling of smaller rooms.

This colour works best as a primary wall choice in shared spaces or functional areas. Because it sits in the 'neutral-adjacent' territory, it acts as a subtle, sophisticated backdrop that allows your furniture to stand out rather than competing with the walls.

History & Origin

This is a distinctly modern choice that reflects contemporary Scandinavian design sensibilities. It lacks the heavy saturation of period-style pigments, focusing instead on light-play and clean, minimalist lines.

How to Use It

It excels in kitchens and bathrooms where a hygienic, bright feel is desired. Pair it with light oak or ash wood tones for a soft look, or matte black hardware to ground the space and add sharp contrast.

The Mood

Living with Ice Mint feels restorative and clean without being sterile. It provides an energizing, fresh start to the day, making it an excellent choice for spaces where you want to feel alert and focused.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
