![]() ![]() Sage green is a muted, medium-toned green, which means it’s pretty versatile. It’s the chameleon color I was looking for, but I definitely can’t call it sage. It looks pretty beige in some lights, and if anything, is more of a tan with olive undertones than a sage. I didn’t include it on this list because it’s not really a sage green, but more of a green-tinged warm gray. So what color did I go with?Īfter all of my testing, I ended up with a color that’s technically gray, called Finnie Gray (Benjamin Moore). ![]() It’s a beautiful color, but I passed on it because I was choosing something for a room that gets a lot of natural light, so the color felt a little too, well, colorful, and I wanted something with more neutral tones. It’s less gray then French Gray, and more blue, so the color feels a little clearer and brighter, too. They should call it Blue-Gray Green, because it’s a blue-ish toned shade of sage green. Here’s a rundown of the paint colors I tested, and what I liked (or didn’t like) about each.īlue Gray isn’t really blue or gray at all. While most of the colors I tried were pretty similar, in that they were all in the more neutral-toned sage territory, they also have very important differences (take that, Home Depot guy). All of them were lovely, and in the process of testing them, I whittled down a list of my favorites. I did some research online, and also looks through the brand websites (or in the case of Behr, the paint swatches at Home Depot) and picked out my favorite sage greens from each. And after mixing five sage green paint samples for me, the guy behind the paint counter at Home Depot told me, “good luck choosing a color, they all look pretty similar.” Thanks.Īll-in-all, I think I tested about 12 sage paint colors from Farrow & Ball, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, and Behr. I ordered tiny sample pots from Farrow & Ball. I ordered peel-and-stick paint samples from Samplize. I had a muted, almost taupe-green shade in mind. When we were remodeling our first floor, I began a quest to find the best sage green paint color for our newly open family room, which is adjacent to our kitchen. ![]()
