Marble Green vs Soft Mint
Marble Green (Cloverdale Paint) and Soft Mint (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 65 for Marble Green vs 61 for Soft Mint — means Marble Green will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Marble Green vs Soft Mint in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Marble Green 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Marble Green reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Marble Green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Marble Green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Marble Green vs Soft Mint Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Marble Green 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.
