Benjamin Moore

Gloucester Sage

HC-100 / 1489

Gloucester Sage is a dark, muted green-gray with complex undertones that shift between mossy green and warm neutral depending on lighting. With an LRV of 19.25, it absorbs substantial light, creating enclosed atmospheres suited to libraries, dining rooms, or entryways. The neutral gray base keeps it from appearing too green.

This color works with Benjamin Moore Simply White and Balboa Mist for contrast, Hale Navy for complementary depth, and Autumn Bronze for warm accent pairing.
