What color is Benjamin Moore Sage Mountain?
Benjamin Moore Sage Mountain 1488 is a muted, medium-depth gray-green with a noticeable olive cast and a softly weathered look. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded, reading closer to an earthy neutral than a vivid green. In warm artificial light, Sage Mountain can lean more khaki and golden-olive, while cooler daylight brings out its grayed green side. It suits living room walls, mudrooms, or painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, aged brass, oak, linen, and charcoal accents. For a restrained palette, pair this shade with creamy off-whites and deeper brown-gray tones rather than bright, high-contrast colors.
LRV of Sage Mountain
Sage Mountain has an LRV of 28.5% 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 28.5%, 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.
