Calm Breeze vs Soft Mint
Where Calm Breeze belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Soft Mint is a Jotun color. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Calm Breeze (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Soft Mint (LRV 61), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Calm Breeze vs Soft Mint in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Calm Breeze and Soft Mint are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Calm Breeze gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Calm Breeze reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Calm Breeze reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
