Whitened Sage

PPU10-12

Whitened Sage is a bright pale green-gray with a muted herbal undertone. It feels quiet and clean. Bedrooms, baths, and kitchens can use its hint of green to soften the room.

The high brightness keeps it from feeling heavy. Light oak and cream trim make an easy combination. In leafy exposure, the green may become stronger, so move a sample board around before choosing it.
