I like the mint actually.

Online Bella Mint looked like Mountain Dew to me. Honestly, Revere Pewter is just another form of taupe. For a green, I'd try Sweet Daphne:

Or BM Palladian or Woodlawn Blue. They will coordinate.

I like this.

This picture of Bella Mint looks odd to me:

This one looks just like another version of taupe.

Break out of your comfort zone, OP. No more taupe. You can get a subtle color that coordinates and it will be in your laundry room so pretty much any choice is safe. So go for the green if you like it.

I know. The word mint will throw you off, but it is more of a bright green...not minty at all.

I see what you are saying. The Sweet Daphne looks brighter, which is what is drawing me to that shade of green.

I don't even have to see it to know I would hate the mint color. Pick anything else!

I would also choose the Bella Mint for a little pop of color.

Do the mint. Look it all up on Houzz.com
