Where Dewy leans cool, White Mint reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 3.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. White Mint has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Dewy on one side and White 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.
