1. HOLLINGSWORTH GREEN, BENJAMIN MOORE
'My absolute favorite sage greens are from Benjamin Moore’s historical color collection,' says Nicole Cullum, interior designer and founder of Color Caravan. 'Colors like Hollingsworth Green have that serene mix of soft, natural greens with a neutral gray undertone to create a harmonious, balanced hue.'
2. PIGEON, FARROW & BALL
Chicago-based interior designer Kate Marker recommends Farrow & Ball's versatile "Pigeon" to channel this popular paint trend. 'Pigeon by Farrow & Ball is a lovely sage with a subtle touch of gray to create a timeless color. This color softens black and white tile and finishes, and complements various wood tones, making it an ideal choice for a mudroom, laundry room, pantry, vanity cabinet, and more!'
3. SAGE GREEN, LITTLE GREENE
‘Sage Green has been a staple of the Little Greene collection for many years,' says Ruth Mottershead. 'It is a calming and sophisticated shade of green with a very soothing effect, which will work particularly well in spaces like bedrooms or dining rooms creating an elegant and comforting feel.
4. MEDITERRANEAN OLIVE, BENJAMIN MOORE
'We love Mediterranean Olive by Benjamin Moore, says interior designer Dan Mazzarini, Creative Director at ARCHIVE. 'We've used this on both walls and millwork and in different sheens. The color is bold – this is not for the timid – but I've found that the deep, earthy tone makes our rooms cozy and organic. It's a great backdrop for art, and as a glossy paint on millwork that adds a bit of old-world sophistication.'
5. OLIVE SPRIG, GLIDDEN
Ashley McCollum, color expert at Glidden suggests "Olive Sprig" as a calming sage green hue, specifically for green living room ideas. 'This is a soft and soothing green that can bring a sense of harmony and tranquility to your living room. This organic tone is a great choice for a living room given its ability to act almost as a neutral color and work in nearly any environment. Who couldn’t use a relaxing shade of green that evokes the feeling of aloe vera or a fragrant plant?'
6. LICHEN, FARROW & BALL
'Choose the gentle shade of Lichen, a muted tone named after the subtle color of creeping algae, for a relaxing bedroom across both walls and woodwork,' advises Patrick O'Donnell. 'These soft shades also lend themselves beautifully to garden spaces, where they are sure to feel at one with nature,' he continues.
