What color is Benjamin Moore Hint of Mint?
Benjamin Moore Hint of Mint 505 is a very light, muted green with a noticeable gray-yellow cast that keeps it understated rather than sugary or bright. Its low saturation gives walls a softly weathered look, especially in rooms with natural wood, linen, or brushed nickel finishes. In cool daylight, the green undertone may appear a little clearer, while warmer bulbs can bring out its creamier, slightly khaki side. Hint of Mint suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces where a near-neutral wall color is wanted with more character than plain off-white. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, soft charcoal, or dusty blue-gray accents.

LRV of Hint of Mint
Hint of Mint has an LRV of 68.72% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 68.72%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
