Cool Mint vs Cotton Ball
Where Cool Mint belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Cotton Ball is a Jotun color. Cool Mint reads as green, while Cotton Ball reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cotton Ball (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Cool Mint (LRV 81), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cool Mint runs green while Cotton Ball is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
