What color is sage green?

Sage Green is a green-gray color. Think of dried sage leaves – definitely green but with a bit of silver to it.

Where to splash this color? Anywhere! Your living room walls, a piece of furniture begging for a makeover, or even your ceiling if you’re feeling adventurous.

The best Sage Green paint colors for your living room

Behr Nature’s Gift

This is a beautiful earthy green. It’s slightly darker than light green, with both blue and gray undertones. It really transforms in different light!

Benjamin Moore North Shore Green

This light shade of sage verges on mint, but has more gray than blue so I think it’s solidly sage.

Sherwin Williams Liveable Green

This sage green has a bit more yellow or brown to it. If your room has a lot of cool light, it will feel more green. In a room with bright natural light, it might read more beige.

This is a lighter, bright, beachy green color. It almost reminds me of sea glass!

Benjamin Moore Sage Wisdom

This is a brighter sage green, but it still has those gray undertones that keep it from reading neon or pastel. A great color depth if you want green on your walls without feeling dark.

Sherwin Williams Retreat

This is a dusty olive green color, with a lot of gray to it so it doesn’t at all feel overwhelming.

Sherwin Williams Svelte Sage

This paint color has a lot of yellow and brown it it. It almost looks khaki next to all of these other greens! However, put it with neutrals whites and wood tones and it will look more green.

A great option for a more neutral, beige sage!

Behr Bitter Sage

This is another great green. It reads as a lightened up olive green, with warm yellow and tan undertones.

Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage

This shade of sage green has a lot of yellow to it. That gives it great warm, cozy undertones. I’d only use this one if your flooring or tile also has warm tones to it.

Valspar Garden Flower

This light sage green color has a lot of gray and a touch of blue to it. I love this option for a room with a lot of warm, natural light.

Farrow and Ball Lichen

This is a beautiful, lush green color. It has a bit more color to it compared to some of the more subdued options. It also has a lot of yellow and golden undertones.

Clare Paint Money Moves

This sage green paint color by Clare Paint has more blue to it than some of the others. It verges on mint, but has enough gray undertones to keep it from looking pastel.

Sherwin Williams Hazel

This is another great green option with a lot of blue undertones to it. You will especially see those cool tones in north-facing rooms as the cool light brings out the blue.
