Benjamin Moore

Winchester Sage

628

Winchester Sage (Benjamin Moore) is a muted sage green carrying gray undertones that temper its saturation and create a neutral-leaning green. With an LRV of 32.55, it sits in the lower-medium reflectance range, absorbing more light than it reflects and reading as a definitive mid-tone on walls. The gray component keeps the color from appearing overtly green in most lighting conditions.

Effective same-brand pairings include Soft Fern, Prescott Green, Hale Navy, Manchester Tan, and White Dove, supporting both analogous green schemes and warm-neutral combinations.

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.
