The color sage is an earthy, grayish green color that resembles the kitchen herb with its woody stem and silvery green leaves.
Svelte Sage by Sherwin-Williams
LRV 41
When I updated the mudroom in our home, I painted the woodwork with Svelte Sage. For that space in our home, I did not want a green that pulled too much yellow and I also didn’t want it to look too gray. Svelte Sage was the perfect colour!
This sage green pairs beautifully with the flora and fauna wallpaper on the top of portions of the walls.
Back to Nature by Behr
LRV 48
Back to Nature was Behr’s pick for Color of the Year in 2020 and this is a really fun sage color! In comparison to Svelte Sage, you can really see the yellow undertones in this sage green color.
I applied this brighter green to the cabinets in our laundry room. It is a fun pop of color in this utilitarian space.
Escape Gray by Sherwin Williams

Escape Gray is a soft gray with subtle green undertones, making it a fantastic choice if you’re looking for something that’s both neutral and a little unexpected.

Nature’s Gift by Behr

If you are looking for more of a pure green sage paint colour, Nature’s Gift by Behr Paint is a great option.
