Arsenic is mint paint with personality
Arsenic brings lively mint energy to kitchens, boot rooms, and bath panelling. It’s brighter than traditional garden greens but still chic thanks to a balanced grey undertone.
Pair it with Ball Green or Teresa’s Green for tonal layers, and offset the brightness with pale stone, oak, and polished chrome.
Testing dupes & finishes
Sample boards should stay minty rather than neon. Check the colour under cabinet lighting where greens often skew yellow. Scrubbable satin works well for cabinetry; washable matt suits walls.
Keep trims neutral—Ammonite or All White—so the mint feels purposeful.
Where Arsenic excels
Use it on pantry shelving, mudroom lockers, kitchen islands, or playful furniture. It also makes a fun ceiling colour above neutral walls for an unexpected burst of energy.
