What color is Benjamin Moore Gloucester Sage?

Benjamin Moore Gloucester Sage HC-100 is a muted, medium-depth gray-green with a distinctly earthy cast. Its low saturation keeps the color restrained, while the #7B7665 value reveals soft olive and khaki undertones rather than a bright botanical green. Daylight can bring out its subdued green-gold character, while evening light tends to make it read as a deeper, weathered neutral. Gloucester Sage suits studies, mudrooms, dining rooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and charcoal accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Gloucester Sage undertones?

In the supplied digital sample, Gloucester Sage reads as a medium-deep, very muted olive-gray neutral with low saturation. Its slight yellow-leaning bias is subtle, so it can appear more gray than green in many settings. Benjamin Moore describes it as an adaptable dark hue that can suggest rain-soaked moss or wrought iron, which fits its restrained olive-gray character rather than indicating a specific undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-olive cast, while cool daylight can make it appear grayer and slightly less olive.

LRV of Gloucester Sage

Gloucester Sage has an LRV of 19.25% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 19.25%, 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.
