Creating a sage green colored bedroom can have a number of benefits. It is a serene and harmonious color that promotes a calming and relaxed atmosphere, making it conducive to work without stress and offering you restful sleep.
Studies show that green shades within your environment can indeed reduce stress and anxiety levels (Hassenzahl, 2015). This makes sage green an excellent choice for a bedroom color scheme, since it not only creates a visually appealing space but can also contribute to your overall well-being and mental health with its calming effect.
Also, sage green is such an earthy tone and can connect us with the natural environment. It’s a way of incorporating the outdoors in our cozy space.
Sage Green Shades

- 8ABD91: This is a pale and muted green color that is often described as elegant and calming.
- 9AC791: This is a cool color, which means it has a blue tone to it. It’s one of the lighter shades of green, so it’s considered a light-to-medium color.
- C0C791: This is a very light, green-yellow color. The word “sage” describes the plant that produces this color and its leaves.
- A9BD93: This is a pale, muted green color that is often described as elegant and calming.
Colors That Work Well With Sage Green
Taupe and Sage Green:
Both are earth-inspired colors, and sometimes, they can both even have a silvery cast.
For a more modern and sophisticated look, pair sage green with navy blue for depth and contrast, while crisp white keeps the palette fresh and clean. When navy blue is one of those cool colors, you also have a grounding influence built into your color scheme.
Sage Green, Mustard Yellow, and Charcoal Gray:
Add a pop of energy to sage green with accents of mustard yellow, while charcoal gray provides depth and sophistication, creating a balanced and dynamic color scheme.
Sage Green, Soft Blue, and Beige:
Create a calming and coastal-inspired palette by pairing sage green with soft blue hues and warm beige tones, reminiscent of tranquil seaside landscapes.
Light Wood Tones and Sage Green:
As a color inspired by nature, sage of course looks great with wood tones.
Ivory and Sage Green:
Both ivory and sage have a classic appeal, so these two make a remarkable combination.
Sage Green, Terracotta, and Warm Brown:
This earthy palette combines sage green with warm terracotta and rich brown tones, evoking a sense of nature and coziness in the space.
