Mint
Refreshing and energetic, mint is a cool, vibrant shade of green. Popular in home decor, this versatile color can sustain a variety of seasons. The fact that it can be paired with just about any color for a warm, inviting, and often sophisticated vibe is a testament to this. Couple with shades of brown, lavender, moss green, and deep purples for a desert-style landscape. Looking for something more seaside? Pair this shade with cream, light blue, gray-green, and sand to achieve a nautical color scheme. Use this stunning shade in your autumn decor by mixing it with raspberry, melon, eggplant, and shades of orange. Coral, in particular, complements mint of all shades. Mint works especially well in rooms with plenty of natural light, such as kitchens and sunrooms. The sunlight reflects off the color, producing an even more illuminating shade of green. For this reason, hints of this hue can freshen up any room. You can use it liberally by painting an entire room this hue, or merely select accent pieces to create an inviting environment.
