What color is Benjamin Moore Winchester Sage?
Benjamin Moore Winchester Sage 628 is a muted mid-tone green with a soft gray cast and a lightly cool, leafy character. Its #81A488 color value keeps it subdued rather than bright, giving walls noticeable color without a sharp or overly saturated look. In daylight, Winchester Sage can read as a clean softened green, while lower or warmer light may bring out its grayer, more subdued side. It suits kitchens, bedrooms, mudrooms, and built-in cabinetry, particularly alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass hardware. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep brown wood, or a darker forest green.

What are Benjamin Moore Winchester Sage undertones?
Winchester Sage reads as a mid-light, muted green with a soft yellow-leaning cast rather than a blue or gray-green look. The supplied digital color sample shows green as the main family, with a slight yellow bias that gives it a natural sage character without looking bright or strongly saturated. Benjamin Moore describes it as “an agreeable shade of sage green,” which aligns with the visible green main family rather than defining a separate undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-green side, while cool daylight can make the green appear a little cleaner and less warm.

LRV of Winchester Sage
Winchester Sage has an LRV of 32.55% 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 32.55%, 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.
