Lush Sage

5003-2B

Lush Sage is not a pale sage at all. It lands as a deep gray-green with an earthy, quiet cast. The low brightness gives it weight on built-ins, mudroom walls, or exterior trim.

In rooms with weak daylight, it can read closer to smoky olive-gray. Add lamps before judging it on four walls. Warm off-white trim keeps this deep sage from turning severe. Black hardware makes the color feel more tailored.

Lush 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.
