Discover the purity of sage

Sage has the soothing, gentle qualities of both green and grey, creating a calming neutral that brings harmony and understated elegance to modern designs.

A closer look at the color sage

Sage, a color deeply rooted in natural healing and wisdom, emerged from ancient Mediterranean cultures where the sage plant held both medicinal and spiritual significance. The color's association with clarity and purification stems from the herb's widespread use in cleansing rituals across time and cultures. In modern color psychology, sage is connected to mindfulness, emotional balance, and intellectual growth. This versatile hue bridges the gap between nature's greens and muted neutrals, making it a powerful symbol of harmony between wild and cultivated spaces. Professional designers often choose sage for its compatibility with both warm and cool color schemes, while it's a popular choice in interior design for its ability to create calming environments without sacrificing visual interest.

The color sage presents a refined balance of green and grey undertones, typically represented by the hex code #B8C4B4 for its most common shade. The RGB values of R:184, G:196, B:180 create sage's characteristic muted green appearance, while its CMYK values (C:25%, M:12%, Y:22%, K:0%) ensure accurate reproduction in print materials.
