A pale mint paint colour for nursery?

Hi everyone, I'm currently decorating the baby's nursery and am struggling to find a pale mint colour. They all seem to be garish, bright colours rather than a pale, muted mint that I'm after. The only one I've found that's even remotely suitable is b & q's mint secret, which is nice but is more white than a mint colour.
Thanks in advance

Although the nicest colours ever (and way too expensive) are Paper and Paint Library:

Can’t remember who produced it (Dulux?) but we painted ours in Soft Apple and its lovely. Hadn’t intended it to be for a nursery - it was a spare room for guests when we decorated - but the soft green with purple decorations is perfect for our little girl.

We've got dulux willow tree in our room. www.diy.com/departments/dulux-willow-tree-matt-emulsion-paint-2-5l/126239_BQ.prd It's a bit brighter than the pot picture, "clearer" and less olivey.

Our bathroom is a very pale, muted mint green, it was Teacup by Valspar. It's lovely, fresh but also not clinical and cold.

Laura Ashley Eau de Nil is nice. They also do a pale version.

Ours is Wilko Kitchen and Bathroom paint (so durable and easy to clean!) in Lime Sorbet colour, I love it. Bright and cheerful but not garish.

We have crown Botanical Extract in the nursery. Have had lots of nice comments. We call it “mint blue” as its not TOO green.

Dulux has a lovely 'jade white'. I have it in my bedroom and it's a great calming colour.
