Why mix Mint Green instead of buying it
Mixing Mint Green yourself lets you approximate an expensive or hard to find tube from pigments you already own, match Mint Green across paint brands whose factory tubes differ, and rebuild the exact colour when you run out mid painting. The recipe above is the working starting point.
Common mistakes
That pigment is a very strong tinter, add it a touch at a time or it will swallow the mix. White cools and chalks a mix as you add it, so tint in small steps and stop before it goes pastel.
