Sage Green
This is one of the best Sherwin Williams Green colors that can make your home feel calm and poised.
Generally, they are grayish-green in nature and tend to have a deep muted and subdued look. Hence, neither too stark nor too subtle!
Some of Sherwin Williams’ popular green colors are from the “Sage Green” category!

What colors would do with pink or mauve for a nursery?
Hi Sarah,
The colors to complement pink in your nursery would be cool light gray, off-white, navy blue, and lemon yellow! On the other hand, for mauve, you must choose lemon yellow, light gray, dark plum, and off-white!

Hi Karen, thanks for reaching out 🙂
You can definitely choose from Sherwin Williams Slow Green or Sherwin Williams Aloe for the same 🙂 Also, it will complement the walnut wainscoting!
I am trying to decide on a Sherwin Williams green or blue with gray tone to paint an east facing kitchen with dark cherry cabinets and calacatta Formica 180fx counters. Any advice? The room has one sliding door and good overhead lighting with spot lights and small chandeliers.
Hi Sharon, I recommend that you choose SW Rainwashed (gray-green) or SW Tradewind (gray-blue) to pair with the cherry cabinets!
I am trying to find a neutral light farmhouse green/gray/beige for a north facing bathroom. The cabinets are golden oak, dark beige granite sink top. The shower curtain is a gray and cream buffalo plaid that I would like to stick with.
Hi Danielle,
I believe SW Comfort Gray would play a great role here! If you want something lighter, SW Sea Salt could work too!
I’m painting my room in evergreen fog ,and would love to find a pretty color for the door
Hi Suzi,
I believe you should continue SW Evergreen Fog for the door as well 🙂 That will give a perfectly seamless and soft look. If not, you can also simply pick SW Pure White!
I appreciate your advice on SW green paints. My favorite color. I want to paint my east ( morning), west facing in afternoon) facing living room. I have a light gray love seat, taupe sofa. The room gets quite a bit of light. I want a warm, earthy, feel to the room. Any suggestions?
Hi Lisa,
Thank you 🙂 If you’re looking to add a green paint color to the walls – you can choose from SW Evergreen Fog or SW Clary Sage! Else, some other warm colors that will complement are SW Worldly Gray and SW Accessible Beige!
Hi,
Love all your green colors. I want to paint an antique cabinet and in leaning towards liveable green. My cupboards are cloud white. What are your thoughts?
Hi Jean,
You must try SW Svelte Sage on the antique cabinet that leans towards the warmer side of the sage green. BM Cloud White is equally a warmer white paint color that complements. Another alternative is SW Clary Sage 🙂
