What color is Benjamin Moore Sage?
Benjamin Moore Sage 2143-10 is a muted, medium-dark olive with a noticeable brown-khaki cast beneath its green base. Its restrained saturation keeps it grounded rather than leafy, giving walls a close, earthy presence. In bright daylight, Sage can read as a weathered olive; under warmer lamps, its brown and yellowed undertones become more apparent. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and cabinetry where a deeper color can add definition without feeling stark. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, cognac leather, or charcoal accents for a layered, practical palette.

LRV of Sage
Sage has an LRV of 15.31% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.31%, 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.
