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!

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

These colors are similar, but mint is usually brighter while sage green has those gray undertones making it more subdued.

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.

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.

Is green a good exterior 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!

Green pairs well with white, black, blues, yellows, and even pink! It’s a very versatile color.

Things to consider when choosing an exterior paint color

When choosing an exterior paint color, remember to consider the following factors:

• How much direct light will it get? Direct light washes out colors vs shadows/shade make them appear darker
• What color is the trim?
• What color is the front door?
• Are there florals/landscaping with bold colors to coordinate with? This could include leaves on trees that change in the fall.
• What color/tone is hardscaping like sidewalk, patio, stone, or brick

The most important thing is to swatch colors on your actual home. Do big swatches and look at it day and night, sunny day and cloudy day. You will see how the color transforms!

What color goes good with sage green?

Sage green pairs well with:

• White
• Gray
• Natural wood tones
• Neutral browns (without too much red to them)
• Blues that are either lighter or darker than the sage green
• Deep dark green
• Red, pink, or coral as a pop of color
• Mustard yellow as a pop of color

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.

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!

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.
