Sherwin Williams - Evergreen Fog
First, can I just say how much I LOVE this shared teen girls' room?! Evergreen Fog from Sherwin Williams is a cool green color with a gray undertone. And it looks amazing in this space.
This great color will hold true to its color in northern and eastern light. You may see a slight difference in rooms that are south or west facing.
The shiplap sage walls are the perfect complement to the earthy tones of the decor in this sage-green bedroom. Neutral tones on the bedding and the natural materials of the hanging baskets and rattan dresser front all come together for a cohesive boho vibe in this calming bedroom.
The subtle texture of adding the planks to the walls also brings a lot of character and charm to the space!

Dusty Olive by Behr is a popular choice for a kid's room decorated in a woodland theme. I love the bunk beds and the little tent in the corner for a reading nook.
This lighter shade of sage green will look different depending on the light in the room. Paired with white furniture and neutral bedding, it creates a calm space and is a great option for a bedroom.
Behr - Conifer Green
Conifer Green from Behr reads more light green than sage, but the cool tones of the sage green walls make this guest room feel like a fresh retreat.
The color combination of white above and Conifer Green painted on 2/3 of the wall is the perfect addition to this soft tone of green in the room.
Ashley mentions that she is a serial over-decorator, always trying to fit too many things in one space. But she paired things down in this room after a decluttering session.
With this fun color on the walls and the texture of the linens and layers, you can really with a "less is more" approach here.
Behr - Nature's Gift
Nature's Gift from Behr is slightly more blue than sage making it an easy choice to pair with the dark gray accent wall of the fireplace. The light color of the sage-green walls really makes that focal wall stand out. A gray sofa and green chairs with a neutral rug tie the whole room together with an eclectic style that is fresh and fun.
The paint color is used in an open concept here consisting of the living room, kitchen, and eat-in dining room. It can be hard to choose a wall paint color for an open concept like this, where the same paint color will be visible from all angles in different spaces. Morgan and Sean felt like it was important to have one consistent color for the walls so there weren't strange transitions.
They went with Nature's Gift and it was perfect, don't you think? The green color is really earthy and homey and fits in great with the other elements in their home.
Sherwin Williams - Acacia Haze
Acacia Haze from Sherwin Williams is a cool green paint color with a blue undertone, but don't worry, it won't look blue. It's a great sage accent color for this bathroom wainscoting and doesn't it look amazing next to all that marble?!
The gray plaid wallpaper goes perfectly with this subtle pop of color. She was going for a bathroom with an English cottage influence and this fits that design style to a T, do you agree?
She also used the same sage green color on the trim and baseboards and the backside of the bathroom door, which was a great choice.
Sherwin Williams - Ryegrass
Ryegrass from Sherwin Williams is a lighter shade of sage that is fresh and clean. Depending on the lighting, it's almost a citrusy or lime color in my opinion. This color is a great entire space color that pairs well with silver and black accents.
Use it in a bathroom, home office, or even the bedroom. Anywhere you choose to use this sage paint color it's the perfect choice to brighten up a space.
