Benjamin Moore

Thornton Sage

464

Thornton Sage is a soft, pale green from Benjamin Moore with noticeable gray undertones that mute its green character into a cloudy, quiet tone. Its LRV of 66.28 means it reflects a significant amount of light, making it read as a light color on walls without appearing stark or washed out. The green base is most visible in natural daylight and recedes into a near-neutral in dimmer conditions.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's Balboa Mist, Classic Gray, Kendall Charcoal, Simply White, and Chantilly Lace, fitting into light, cool-neutral color schemes.
