Sage Green Walls

After visiting Sweden last month, I’m definitely convinced that it is ok to bring back sage green. I saw this calm, cool, soft tone in a lot of homes and restaurants. It’s definitely a throw-back color for me and I’m sure many of you. My brides maid’s dresses were sage green in 1998 and our first house had lots of sage green walls.

It’s really such a great color. I consider it almost a neutral. It’s subtle and not overpowering at all. And it looks great with so many other colors. I recently painted a half wall in my studio, and I really love how it came out. I’m trying to decide which room in our house would look good with sage green walls. Maybe the powder room is a good place to start.

I did a little pinterest search and found some really great rooms that use sage green in a fun modern way and don’t feel too 1998. No surprise at all, a lot of these rooms are from Scandinavian homes.

Sage Green Paint

I did a little sage green research for you. This is totally not an ad or even a sponsored post, I just love Sherwin-Williams paints, and it’s the paint store I shop at.  Here’s a few sage green paint colors to consider. The color I used in my studio is the very first one Clary Sage. My studio is very bright, so the color seems lighter once it’s on the wall. But, with any color, you have to try it in the space first. These are just 6 sold sage greens that I was drawn to. Copen Blue feels quite modern and very similar to a lot of the sage tones I saw in Sweden. Maybe this is the color I’ll try in our powder room. And while Artichoke is the darkest in this group, I think it’s my favorite. It’s dark and grounded but still a soft, subtle green in a way. Sage is just that perfect earthy green. It kind of has that pretty pastel feel, but with a little more sophistication.

So what do you think? Are you ready to throw back? I’m definitely still in love with my white walls, but I think a little sage green could be fun to play with.

      I am wondering this. I do like sage walls but since I have almost no light in my kitchen because of deck roof and small kitchen window, should I go a med to dark sage or light??

      I’m sorry, I don’t know what the exact color is. But, Sherwin Williams is REALLY good about matching paint colors, even from an image. I hope that helps.

        Hello! The colours you showed are great. I live in Croatia, Europe – do you know if I could find those Sherwin Williams colours in Europe, or do you know any other producer with those great shades? Thank you very much ?

    I have a small kitchen with swiss coffee walls and dark brown cabinets with white countertops.
    I would love to paint my upper and lower cabinets with a soft sage or blue with gray undertones. I see colors I like in photos but they never say what color they are. Is th Clary Sage a good color for cabinets?
