About sage
Sage is the desaturated grey-green that defined safe-but-interesting walls from about 2018 onward. It reads green in daylight, near-grey under cloud cover, and warms up under incandescent bulbs. Most sages sit in the mid-LRV range, so they hold their color without going chalky.
Use it on bedroom walls, kitchen cabinets, and powder rooms with warm brass and unlacquered nickel. Pair with creamy whites, not pure white — the contrast gets clinical. Designer alternatives: SW Evergreen Fog, BM October Mist, F&B Mizzle.
