What color is Behr Simply Sage?
Behr Simply Sage PPU10-16 is a light, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft yellow-olive undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading like a bright botanical green, giving walls a quietly weathered, mineral-like appearance instead. In north-facing or dim rooms, this shade may appear more gray, while warm daylight can bring out its subtle sage-green character. It suits bedrooms, kitchens, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and linen textiles. For contrast, pair Simply Sage with charcoal, deep brown, or a muted clay-toned accent.

LRV of Simply Sage
Simply Sage has an LRV of 38.38% 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 38.38%, 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.
