What color is Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage?
Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage HC-114 is a softened gray-green with a muted, lightly olive cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its mid-light depth gives walls noticeable color while maintaining a quiet, low-saturation look. In daylight, Saybrook Sage can read as a gentle leafy green; under warmer artificial light, its earthy gray and yellow-green undertones become more apparent. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, bedrooms, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and linen-textured fabrics. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper charcoal, blackened bronze, or a warm clay-toned accent.

What are Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage undertones?
Saybrook Sage is a mid-light, very muted yellow-green with a soft gray cast and low saturation. The visible color reads primarily as a subdued sage green, with a slight yellow-green bias that keeps it from looking distinctly blue or silvery. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a soothing aloe hue cooled with a splash of gray,” which aligns with its green main family and its noticeably grayed-down appearance. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-green side, while cool daylight can make the gray influence and restrained green character more noticeable.

LRV of Saybrook Sage
Saybrook Sage has an LRV of 45.46% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 45.46%, 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.
