What color is Behr Sage Gray?
Behr Sage Gray 710F-4 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable but restrained green cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded, so it reads more like an earthy gray than a pronounced sage. In daylight, Sage Gray can show its soft green influence more clearly, while warmer indoor lighting may pull it toward a quieter, slightly warmer gray. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices where a gentle color is wanted without using a pale neutral. Pair it with warm white trim, weathered oak, linen upholstery, matte black hardware, or charcoal accents for definition.

LRV of Sage Gray
Sage Gray has an LRV of 35.99% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 35.99%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
