Mint Grasshopper vs Cotton Ball
Mint Grasshopper (Cloverdale Paint) and Cotton Ball (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Mint Grasshopper belongs to the green family and Cotton Ball to the beige-yellow family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 84 vs 85 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 4.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mint Grasshopper vs Cotton Ball in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Mint Grasshopper and Cotton Ball 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. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Mint Grasshopper vs Cotton Ball Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mint Grasshopper on one side and Cotton Ball 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.
