Balanced Gray-Green with Soft Definition


Sherwin-Williams® Saybrook Sage (SW 6208) delivers a classic sage tone softened by gray. It creates color interest without overwhelming a kitchen, making it ideal for homeowners who want something warmer than cool gray but more restrained than bold green.

Undertones & Lighting Behavior


Saybrook Sage carries a muted gray-green undertone that prevents it from feeling bright or overly botanical.


If your kitchen is north-facing or uses cool lighting, it will lean slightly more gray and subdued.

If your kitchen has strong southern exposure or warm lighting, the green becomes more noticeable and organic.

LRV: 41 — A mid-tone placement that reflects enough light to remain livable while providing noticeable depth.

Applications in Cabinetry
