Soft Mint vs Teal Treat
Soft Mint (Behr) and Teal Treat (Cloverdale Paint) come from different manufacturers. Soft Mint reads as blue-green, while Teal Treat reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 84 for Teal Treat vs 77 for Soft Mint — means Teal Treat will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 4.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Soft Mint vs Teal Treat in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Soft Mint and Teal Treat 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.
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. Teal Treat reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Teal Treat has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Teal Treat has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
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. Teal Treat has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Soft Mint vs Teal Treat Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Soft Mint on one side and Teal Treat 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.
