There are many shades of mint green paint, let alone different types, so finding the best one can be a big task.
Mint green is very on-trend right now. When I think of mint green, I think of Bridgerton-esque drawing rooms and Fortnum and Mason packaging; it’s a refreshing colour with versatility.

According to colour experts, mint green enhances creativity – use this in your workspace or studio to trigger inspiration and you’ll be creating masterpieces in no time. Da Vinci who!?
Mint green works best when it’s painted on walls that get a lot of light. I wouldn’t use this in a basement flat, for instance, as it will feel chilly rather than calming.
Although it’s a vibrant and cool shade of green, due to its blue undertones, using a paler shade of mint in your bedroom will create a calming space to sleep at night.

What colours go well with mint green?
Mint is versatile and can be a great partner to so many different colours:
Black and mint = bold and masculine
Pink and mint = spring-like and cutesy
Grey or blue and mint = peaceful and refreshing
Peach or yellow = playful and daring
Can I paint woodwork in mint green?
Yes, mint green is a fabulous colour for woodwork; it’s a gorgeous pop of colour on a front door or fence and can smarten up built-in wardrobes in a bedroom.
I’d use something like this Lick Neo Mint paint for the woodwork as it doesn’t require a primer and this Graham and Brown Chinoiserie in exterior eggshell for the front door as it’s very hardwearing.
