What color is Benjamin Moore Nob Hill Sage?
Benjamin Moore Nob Hill Sage 450 is a light, muted green with a soft gray cast and a gently cool-neutral appearance. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet on large walls, where it reads more like a softened botanical green than a bright sage statement. In strong daylight, the pale green becomes clearer; under lower or warmer lighting, its grayness is more noticeable. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, or kitchens with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and brushed nickel. It also makes a restrained option for cabinetry when paired with creamy counters or lightly veined stone.

What are Benjamin Moore Nob Hill Sage undertones?
Nob Hill Sage is a light, muted green with low saturation and a soft gray cast. The supplied digital color leans slightly yellow-green, which keeps it from reading as icy or blue-green. Benjamin Moore describes it as a celadon green “shaded with a drop of gray,” a description that fits its visibly softened green character. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-green side, while cool daylight can make it appear a little cleaner and grayer.

LRV of Nob Hill Sage
Nob Hill Sage has an LRV of 59.5% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 59.5%, 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.
