30 Fresh Colors To Pair With Mint Green

If you're bored with using the same neutral colors in your home, consider mint green your new go-to. This pastel hue is fresh, whimsical, and just as soothing as its namesake herb. On the blue-green spectrum, it's closer to green than colors like seafoam, aqua, and turquoise. Compared to shades like sage and olive, it's softer and more playful.

While mint green adds levity and personality, it remains subtle enough to feel serene and calming, making it a great choice for any room in the house, from the bedroom to the kitchen. It may also surprise you that the pastel hue is available in many different shades. But the real challenge? Finding accent colors to complement your palette.

Fortunately, mint green pairs well with a wide range of hues. In fact, we've rounded up 30. Keep scrolling for some of our favorite color ideas that prove light green is far from a one-trick pony.

1. Mint Green and White

For a crisp, clean look, pair mint bathroom cabinetry with white walls and countertops. This retro sanctuary by Lindsey Lane Design is a perfect example of keeping things light and airy, while still grounding the entire space with bold bathroom flooring. Glass vases in a similar blue-green shade complete the look.

Martha O'Hara Interiors

To give mint green walls or cabinets a more contemporary look, use black as the main accent color. Black contrasts with the soft, cool tones of mint and provides a sleek edge to the overall design. Here, Martha O'Hara Interiors incorporates the classic hue with the help of hardware, lighting, and a graphic floor tile that elevates a cheerful and sophisticated laundry room.

Nina Liddle Design

If you prefer a neutral shade that's less stark than white and less dramatic than black, opt for a mix of cool mint green with a creamy beige hue. The color combination looks casual yet still works well with traditional style, as seen in this dreamy bedroom by Nina Liddle Design. Dark hardwood flooring and curtain rods anchor the soft palette.

Bella Mancini Design

Like mint, lavender is a soothing color that creates a calm and serene environment. This space from Bella Mancini is a perfect example of the two pastel colors coming together to create a room full of interest without feeling busy or overwhelming. Wanna mix it up? Reverse the approach used in this room and opt for mint green furniture with lavender-painted trim and doors instead.

22 Interiors

If you prefer something a little more retro, pair your mint green walls with teal accents. The color combo has a '50s or '60s vibe and works well in a kitchen that features vintage appliances. This charming cook space by 22 Interiors is the perfect roadmap to pulling off the look without it feeling dated or cheesy, thanks to modern floor tiles and a contemporary, geometric backsplash.

Mandarina Studio

Tan is an ideal contrast to mint green, thanks to its warm tone that brings balance and sophistication (even to a kid's room!), as seen in this charming space designed by Mandarina Studio. While the wallpaper selection skews more neutral, the accent trim on the window treatments and textiles brings in a sunnier tone that feels both vibrant and subtle.

Cyrille-Robin for Marion Alberge

Take notes from this breakfast nook designed by Marion Alberge and pair mint green cabinets with mustard yellow upholstery. Here, the luxe seating grounds the light and airy space, adding depth and contrast, while a pink pendant light adds a playful note.

Planning Pretty

Tone-on-tone color ideas have been all the rage lately, as proven by this verdant woodland nursery belonging to Camille from Planning Pretty. She paired the mint green crib and ceiling with light grayish-green walls and dark green drapery. The contrast between these three shades of green results in a unique design that feels both stylish and serene.

Lauren Leonard Interiors

We'll find any way to incorporate incorporate pink into a bathroom, but the combination of these two pastel hues is truly unparalleled. Lauren Leonard Interiors keeps it simple, opting for mint green cabinets with a rosy-colored bath mat and matching hand towels — proof that the (design) magic lives in the details.

Kristina Crestin Design

Kristina Crestin utilizes a steel gray countertop and sleek stainless appliances to temper the minty green shade used throughout this compact laundry room, and we're into it. One of our favorite bits? The matching pendant light. It emphasizes the soft pastel shade and makes the whole space feel light and airy.

Digs Design Company

This powder room by Digs Design Company feels both elegant and playful. To recreate the look in your own home, pair a mint green mirror with a navy blue and mint wallpaper pattern, and juxtapose a traditional console sink with modern bathroom lighting.

D2 Interieurs

Rebel Designs

The rose gold details in this modern mint green kitchen by Rebel Designs inject both warmth and character, creating a cook space with timeless appeal. The rosy-hued copper backsplash is the perfect midpoint between orange and pink — an ideal option for someone who wants to add a unique and lustrous layer to their culinary headquarters.

Hallie Henley Design

Layering shades of green lends a chic, tone-on-tone style to your home, and Hallie Henley Design nails it in this adorable sitting area.

Zoë Feldman

Mint green floral wallpaper takes center stage in this feminine bedroom designed by Zoë Feldman, but coral accents — like the Roman shade and accent chair — tie the whole romantic look together. Brass details add a measured dose of glamour without distracting from the overall design.

Katie Ridder

This living room setup by Katie Ridder is the epitome of sophisticated traditional design, with monochrome mint walls and trim grounded by a vintage writing desk and chair behind the sofa. The rich wood finish lends an earthy tone that's strong enough to counterbalance the cool pastel hue.

Terracotta Design Build

A mint wall color works beautifully in a boho-styled bedroom. Just look at this space by Terracotta Design Build for inspiration. A hanging rattan chair and decorative Kelly green accents infuse depth and visual interest, while still keeping the overall vibe simple and serene.

Creative Tonic

Like peach and rust, bright orange also beautifully complements mint green. This color is so strong, you don't need much to make an impact, as you can see from this home office designed by Creative Tonic. Small splashes of orange in the wall art, window valence, couch, chair upholstery, and pendant light create an energetic and joyful atmosphere.

The Collective Dallas

In this living room designed by The Collective Dallas, mint green finds its match with an equally soft and sweet shade: lilac. The color-blocked armchair and pillow combo creates a retro vibe, while shades of cream, beige, and white keep the room light and airy.

Marea Clark

Sometimes you don't have to go far to find the perfect color match. Mint green and aqua sit right beside each other on the color wheel, and look how lovely they are together. This space designed by Marea Clark is a study in analogous colors: the blue wallpaper, blue-green shade, and green window trim blend together beautifully while still creating contrast.

Cortney Bishop Design

Mint green walls and pattern mixing might sound like a busy combination on paper. But this living space by Cortney Bishop Design proves that it can look subtle, sophisticated, and fresh. The ceramic floor lamp is a work of art in itself. Its terra cotta base is complemented by a swipe of mint green paint, which perfectly matches the pillow and walls.

Angie Hranowsky

For bold contrast, consider bringing together mint green and plum. The daybed in this kids' room designed by Angie Hranowsky is a deep shade of purple just this side of brown. Along with the mint green walls and sofa, it creates a surprisingly sophisticated combo that's still whimsical and friendly enough for a child.

When you're looking for an unexpected addition to a color scheme, you can't go wrong with mint green. This shade is both playful and soothing, subtle and full of personality, as you can see from the space above by Lindsey Brooke Design.
