What color is Benjamin Moore Thornton Sage?
Benjamin Moore Thornton Sage 464 is a pale, muted green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft and understated on the wall. Its low saturation prevents it from reading overly botanical, while the slight yellow-green influence gives it more warmth than a blue-leaning gray. In bright daylight, Thornton Sage can appear airy and lightly green; under warmer lamps, its gray-beige side becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, kitchens, and quiet living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass. For cabinetry or a subtle exterior accent, pair this shade with creamy whites, charcoal details, or natural stone rather than stark, icy colors.

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.

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 66.28%, 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.
