What color is Benjamin Moore Silver Sage?
Benjamin Moore Silver Sage 506 is a light, muted gray-green with a noticeable softened yellow undertone that keeps it from reading icy. Its low saturation gives it a quiet, chalky appearance, while the pale value helps smaller rooms feel open without looking stark. In bright daylight, Silver Sage can appear more silvery and gray; under warmer lamps, its subtle green-beige cast becomes easier to see. It suits bedroom, bath, and living room walls, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, linen, and aged brass. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, dark olive, or soft black accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Silver Sage undertones?
Silver Sage reads as a light, very muted gray with a soft yellow-green cast rather than a strong green presence. The supplied digital sample shows only a subtle color bias, so it can look mostly gray while leaning a little warmer and greener than a blue-gray. Benjamin Moore describes it as a light gray with “a hint of sage green,” which fits its visibly gray main family and restrained green influence. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellowed warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and more gray-green.

LRV of Silver Sage
Silver Sage has an LRV of 63.26% 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 63.26%, 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.
