Murky Sage

5005-2B

Murky Sage is a deep gray green with a muted olive cast. The name is honest. It can ground cabinetry, a mudroom wall, or a small office without turning bright or leafy.

Cream trim works well here, especially with matte black hardware nearby. In weak light, the shade can look more gray than green. Use it where that subdued quality feels intentional.
