Frosted Jade vs Soft Mint
Where Frosted Jade belongs to Behr's range, Soft Mint is a Jotun color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (60 vs 61), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Frosted Jade runs green while Soft Mint is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Frosted Jade on one side and Soft Mint on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
