Valspar

Tempered Sage

6006-5A

Tempered Sage is pale yellow green beige, more dried herb than fresh sage. Its pale yellow green base feels best with limestone, woven shades, or lightly stained oak. Kitchens and bedrooms can carry it when gray feels too cool but cream feels too plain.

Bright rooms show the yellow green side more clearly, so sample near counters and fixed tile. Woven textures suit it. Red oak may amplify the warmth in a way that looks dated.

Tempered 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
