Benjamin Moore

Nob Hill Sage

450

Nob Hill Sage by Benjamin Moore is a muted celadon green softened with a noticeable gray component, which keeps it from reading as saturated or overtly botanical. With an LRV of 59.5, it sits in the mid-range for reflectance, providing enough brightness for living rooms and bedrooms without appearing overly pale. The gray influence gives it a restrained quality that adapts to both contemporary and traditional finishes.

It coordinates naturally with Benjamin Moore Soft Fern and Saybrook Sage in analogous arrangements, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal offer deeper contrast, and White Dove provides a clean, airy trim option.

Nob Hill Sage in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
