Greens vs White Mint
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Greens reads as green, while White Mint reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 78 vs 10, White Mint will read as the brighter of the two — a 68-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Greens's cool character against White Mint's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 61.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Greens vs White Mint in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Greens and White Mint in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. White Mint returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that White Mint will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Greens would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that White Mint will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Greens would.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that White Mint will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Greens would.

Greens vs White Mint Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Greens 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.
