Topiary Tint vs White Mint
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Topiary Tint reads as green, while White Mint reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Mint (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Topiary Tint (LRV 65), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Topiary Tint runs cool while White Mint is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Topiary Tint vs White Mint in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Topiary Tint and White 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.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. White Mint reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Topiary Tint.

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.
