Valspar

Sage Slate

8004-32F

Valspar Sage Slate is a muted green-gray, lifted by a stony, weathered quality. Green stays in the background. It works on cabinets, mudrooms, and exterior accents when a soft charcoal would be too severe.

The shade needs decent light because it sits in the deep range. Use limestone, warm white, and blackened hardware as supporting notes. In rooms full of cool gray finishes, it may lose its sage note.
