Benjamin Moore

Sage

2143-10

Sage is a dark olive with pronounced green and brown undertones that give it a heavily muted, earthy quality. At an LRV of 15.31, it absorbs considerable light and reads as a deep, grounded neutral with organic warmth. The green-brown balance shifts slightly depending on surrounding light temperature, leaning greener under cool daylight and browner under warm artificial sources.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove for strong contrast, Revere Pewter for a tonal bridge, Hale Navy for a deep complementary pairing, Weimaraner for warm neutral layering, and Creamy White for softer trim.

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.
