Say hello to the newest neutral color: sage. It's a muted, earthy green with subtle gray undertones that captures the essence of its namesake dried herb. The Complete Paint & Supplies team considers sage as sophisticated and calming, and it's incredibly versatile.
A Few of Our Favorite Sage Benjamin Moore Paints
Within the Benjamin Moore paint sage color offerings, Lush AF-475 brings a somewhat cooler tone with more blue undertones, while Aventurine AF-445 has olive undertones and a warm, earthy appeal. Azores AF-495 brings a fresher, almost minty feel with a bit of sage's restraint. If you prefer a silvery sage, try Thornton Sage 464.
What Goes Well With Sage Color?
Sage pairs beautifully with warm neutrals like cream, ivory, and soft beiges; we like how these combinations create timeless, refined palettes. Depending on the sage color you prefer, white tones can keep it from feeling too cool.
Light sage hues look stunning with deeper tones like Tavern Charcoal CW-90, Midnight Navy 2067-10, or Classic Burgundy HC-182 if you want more contrast. These darker colors are gorgeous, saturated counterpoints that will highlight sage's subtle beauty.
A room's furnishings can also enhance sage colors—look for natural materials and textures to do this job. Wood tones, particularly weathered or whitewashed finishes, complement sage's earthy appeal. You can add brass and copper accents for warmth or black iron fixtures for even more contrast.
Where to Use Sage Color in Your Home
Sage works beautifully in bedrooms because it's so calming to look at. We recommend it for master suites, guest rooms, and even nurseries—anywhere that'd benefit from its peaceful effects. It also upgrades living rooms as a versatile backdrop for traditional or contemporary furniture. Since its profile is neutral, it never competes with artwork or other elements.
Sage cabinetry or accent walls also add elegance to kitchens and dining areas. The color's organic personality connects it to spaces where food is prepared and shared. Bathrooms painted in sage become spa-like retreats that feel luxurious and serene. Another thing: The color's ability to work with warm and cool lighting makes it adaptable to different times of day.
