Colors That Go With Sage Green

Cream and Crisp Whites

Sage looks fabulous with white and cream colors. In my daughter’s bedroom, I painted the headboard wall sage green as an accent wall, and the rest is painted Sherwin Williams Pure White, which is a slight off-white.

In the nursery below you can see how nice sage green looks with the warm white on the upper part of the wall. What an adorable nursery!

Here are some suggestions for white paint colors to go with sage green:

• Sherwin Williams Pure White
• Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace
• Benjamin Moore Simply White
• White Dove by Benjamin Moore

Gray

Gray is a neutral that goes with everything. Sage Green is a green color with a healthy dose of gray so they naturally goes well together.

I love how well sage green goes with the dark gray in the photo below! The contrast is really nice!

How to know if a paint color is right for you?

The best way to judge if a color is good for you is to put a swatch on the wall and look at it over a few days. Look at it in different lights and decide if you really like it.

You can do this by getting a sample from the paint store and using a brush to put it up on the walls, but then you are left with a can that you can’t do anything with. Those samples are used with poor-quality paint and aren’t meant for use on your walls permanently.

I recommend going with Samplize. They are a company that will send you a 12X12 peel-and-stick swatch of a paint color that you can stick to the wall. When you are done, just peel it off and throw it away.

It’s easy and much less messy!

Navy Blue

Wood Tones

Sage green and wood tones hold hands so well. As in the kitchen below the perimeter cabinets are sage green and the island is wood. The black countertops tie them all together.

Here we have wood on the ceiling as well as floors, bed frame, and night stand. They all go so well with the dark sage of the headboard and the light sage in the bedding.
