Julep vs White Mint
Julep and White Mint come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Julep reads as green, while White Mint reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 46-point LRV gap — 78 for White Mint vs 32 for Julep — means White Mint will open up a space more effectively. Where Julep leans cool, White Mint reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 41.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Julep vs White Mint in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Julep 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
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. White Mint reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Julep.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. White Mint returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
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. White Mint returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
House
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 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
