Kiss of Mint

Valspar · 5007-5B

The Analysis

Kiss of Mint is a soft, muted green that reflects light effectively due to its moderate LRV of 60. It keeps a room feeling open and airy without the clinical brightness of pure white, making smaller spaces appear slightly larger.

This shade functions best as a versatile main wall colour. It acts as a neutral backdrop that introduces personality without overwhelming the space or clashing with your existing furniture.

History & Origin

This is a fresh, modern take on botanical greens. Unlike heavy Victorian shades, it lacks the dark, moody undertones, favoring a crisp aesthetic common in contemporary interior design.

How to Use It

It works excellently in bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms. Pair it with light oak wood tones or matte black hardware to create a high-contrast, modern look.

The Mood

Living with this colour feels balanced and clean. It is restful without being sleepy, providing a sense of order that works well for daily routines.

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.
