    Tips<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Sage green can act as a neutral, or it can stand out as a focal point in your home. You decide!<\/li>\n
    • One of the best ways to choose shades of sage green is to compare the light and dark scale of each color with the LRV. The higher the LRV, the lighter the color. Learn about Light Reflectance Value<\/em> in my comprehensive guide: What is LRV?<\/li>\n
    • Samples \u2013 Use paint samples! As you try different shades, you\u2019ll begin to recognize a pattern in the colors that feel good. Check samples in various lighting at different times of the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n

      Warm sage green colors do exist! Choose shades of sage that lean more olive green, with yellow or muddy brown undertones.<\/p>\n

      Are sage green and mint green the same thing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Technically, mint green is softer, with more of a blue undertone. Sage green tends to be a little deeper and often has more of a yellow or gray undertone.<\/p>\n

      Anywhere! The best part about sage green is that it can act as a pop of color in a neutral room, or it can be a neutral backdrop in and of itself.
      Use it on the exterior of your home, on an accent wall, on furniture, on cabinetry and so much more!<\/p>\n
