Prairie Sage

8003-28E

Prairie Sage lands between olive and khaki, with a muted yellow green base. It is a grounded color. The LRV is 29, so expect depth on full walls and plan for lighter trim.

It can suit a mudroom, pantry, or low wainscot with limestone floors. Cream, blackened bronze, and natural wicker keep the sage from looking military. Sample it beside cabinetry before ordering gallons.
