Benjamin Moore

Dry Sage

2142-40

Dry Sage is a muted, nearly neutral green with soft green-yellow undertones that keep the color grounded and earthy. It has an LRV of 34.63, placing it in the medium-light range with moderate light reflectance. This makes it functional in both well-lit and moderately lit rooms without appearing too dark or too washed out.

It works for walls, cabinetry, and exterior siding across contemporary and rustic styles. Pair it with Benjamin Moore's Black Pepper or Kendall Charcoal for contrast, or with Gray Owl, Edgecomb Gray, or Swiss Coffee for a tonal palette.
