What color is Benjamin Moore Irish Mint?
Benjamin Moore Irish Mint 2041-70 is a very light mint with a cool green cast softened by a faint blue-gray note. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, where it reads more like a washed pastel than a bright green. In daylight, Irish Mint can look crisp and lightly aqua-leaning, while warmer evening light may make its green character appear gentler. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or a child’s room, especially alongside clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft gray textiles. For more contrast, pair this shade with deep navy accents or charcoal hardware rather than warmer yellow-based neutrals.

What are Benjamin Moore Irish Mint undertones?
Irish Mint is a near-white, very muted green-tinted off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Irish Mint
Irish Mint has an LRV of 83.34% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 83.34%, 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.
