Budding Green

8003-33B

Budding Green is a soft light sage with a gray-beige base. The gray-beige base keeps the sage from feeling minty. Use it in bedrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms when green should stay calm.

Butcher block, cream tile, and brushed nickel all sit easily beside it. It is light enough for larger areas but still visible. In shaded rooms, it may look more neutral than leafy.

Budding Green 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.
