About Peppermint
Peppermint (1359) is a light warm white from Benjamin Moore with a soft pink undertone. With an LRV of 75, Peppermint reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Peppermint's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for whole-house walls, living rooms, bedrooms and trim with a deeper wall color. It's very close to Cotton Candy (1268); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Peppermint changes with the light
Peppermint has a fairly balanced undertone: it shifts a little cooler in north light and a little warmer in afternoon west light, which makes it an easy choice for most rooms.
North-facing rooms
In north light Peppermint will look a little cooler and grayer than on the chip.
East-facing rooms
Peppermint will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.

West-facing rooms
