Take A Hike

V100-2

Take A Hike is a pale gray green with a soft, natural feel. The green stays quiet. It can work in mudrooms, baths, and kitchen cabinets when sage needs to feel clean rather than rustic.

The comfortable light range keeps the room open. Pair it with white oak, soapstone, or warm white trim. Avoid pairing it with very blue grays.
