In search of the perfect grayish green

15 years ago

I know there have been posts about the perfect green before, but I am hoping people can help with my specific quest. I am looking to paint almost my entire first floor a light sage/grayish green. I am hoping to find essentially a neutral color that isn't beige -- and I am hoping I can find a light green that fits the bill.

I have tried Silver Sage, but it seemed almost light blue. I have also tried Nantucket Breeze from Benjamin Moore, but it seemed a little too yellowy.

Any suggestions would be very appreciated!

Thanks,

Jessica

It's a tricky one to get just right... Take a look at these- Benjamin Moore crown point sand HC-90 & richmond gray HC-96. Good luck!

How about Ellen Kennon's Sage

It looks beige on my monitor, but to me is the most perfect grey/green available.

Take a look at Benjamin Moore 472 Aganthus Green and the two lighter colors on that strip (the names excape me). Maybe a bit more green and a bit less gray but it is a really nice neutral on the wall.

I am looking at Light Sage by Pittsburg paint. I am also looking for a gray green.

Thanks everyone! I think I have decided on Ancient Marble by Sherwin Williams. It looks beigeish-green on the strip, but on the wall, it was exactly what I wanted. It is light enough to be a neutral with a hint of color. Hopefully I will like it just as much once it is all over the walls!
