    Published: Dec 5, 2022 · Modified: Oct 8, 2023 by Morgan · This post may contain affiliate links ·

    Looking for the perfect dark sage green paint color? Here is a guide to how to pick the perfect dark sage green paint color.

    I am really feeling green paint colors lately. It's one of my favorite colors for interior walls!

    Green is definitely a big trend right now - so I'm seeing it everywhere I look.

    And I love it! Green can feel like you are returning to nature. It's earthy and calm and relaxing.

    Many people prefer to choose light paint colors for the walls. However, there is something to be said about a dark wall color. Dark walls can feel cozy, luxe, and inviting.

    I especially love dark walls for large rooms that get lots of natural light.

    I personally painted my bedroom dark green (North Woods) and love how the space feels.

    Sage green paint is especially having a moment - the sage green bedroom aesthetic is particularly popular.

    Green paint colors can be hard to choose - there are SO many shades!

    Here are some of the best dark green sage paint colors!

    How do I choose the right shade of green paint?

    You want to first pick a vibe that you like - look for inspiration photos to decide light green, dark green, sage green, etc.

    Get samples and test them in your actual space! Test them on multiple walls at all times of day. My Paint Color Formula shares the exact process I use to pick paint colors!

    Is there a warm green?

    Warm greens will be greens with a lot of yellow or brown to them. Think olive green as a good example of a warm toned green!

    Is green a good house color?

    Yes! Green is a great color to paint your house. It's great for exteriors that are in green, wooded areas as it really gives the home a nature-inspired aesthetic.

    I love green for nature-inspired or boho style rooms. It's really cozy!

    The best sage green paint for north facing room

    North facing rooms have cool toned light that will make paint colors look cooler. A cool sage might read as teal or blue. So, for a north facing room, choose a sage green with more yellow to it.

    Read all about paint colors for north facing rooms here.

    The best sage green paint for south facing room

    South facing windows let in warm yellow light. So, they make wall colors look warmer and more yellow. If you don't want your sage green to read as too warm, instead choose a sage with more blue or cool tones to it from the list below.

    What is the color psychology of green?

    Color psychology is the idea that different colors make you feel different ways. Green is said to bring out feelings of nature, healing, freshness, and quality!

    Sage green in particular is said to represent wisdom, intelligence, and experience.
