Sage is the colour that made painted kitchens safe for colour again — green enough to feel alive, grey enough to behave like a neutral. It photographs calm and lives calmer.
The exact RAL codes to spec
Colour names drift between suppliers; RAL codes do not. These are the three we mix most for sage green cabinet projects:
| RAL 6021 | Pale Green |
| RAL 7033 | Cement Grey |
| RAL 6011 | Reseda Green |
Every code sprays in super-matte through high gloss; approve the sprayed sample in your room's light before production — sheen shifts colour a half-step.
What to pair it with
Sage Green performs best beside unlacquered brass, white oak floors, calacatta-look quartz, cream walls. Keep undertone temperature consistent across counters, metals and floors and the scheme locks together on its own.
Where it works best
Specify sage green for kitchen perimeters, islands, mudrooms, wardrobe walls. For dosing strategies — island-only colour, two-tone splits — see the two-tone formulas guide.
Door designs to carry it
The colour reads differently by profile: on our Aspen, Ivy, Daisy designs it shows its full range from calm to characterful. All are lacquered to order in any code above — browse the gallery for the complete set.
The mistake to avoid
Pairing sage with cool chrome and grey stone drains its warmth — keep metals and counters warm-toned.
