Estate Sale
What Estate Sale Actually Looks Like
Estate Sale is a soft, dusty sage that lands somewhere between green and gray. It is not a bold color statement. It settles into a room rather than announcing itself, carrying the kind of weathered, organic quality you associate with old linen or dried herbs. The gray keeps it from reading too green, and the green keeps it from reading too cool.
Estate Sale Undertones
The RGB values, 172 red, 174 green, 146 blue, tell the story here. Green and red are nearly equal, which produces that gray, almost khaki quality. Blue sits noticeably lower, which is why this color never tips into a clean blue-gray. In bright warm light it can lean more golden-green. In cool north-facing light it pulls grayer and quieter. Either way it stays firmly in muted territory.
Where Estate Sale Works Best
This is an interior-only color. Medium LRV means it holds enough depth to feel grounded on a wall without darkening a room dramatically. It works well where you want color that feels calm rather than energetic. Think living rooms, studies, bedrooms, or a dining room where you want warmth without going earthy-brown.
Where to put Estate Sale
At medium depth, Estate Sale gives a living room a relaxed, settled feeling without demanding attention. It works with natural wood furniture and woven textiles.
The muted, gray-green quality is genuinely restful here. Pair it with warm ivory bedding and wood tones to keep the room from feeling cold.
Quiet and undistracting, this color is a solid choice for a workspace. It has enough visual presence to feel intentional without competing with screens or artwork.
In a dining room with candlelight or warm pendant lighting, Estate Sale shifts warmer and greener. It pairs naturally with aged brass hardware and natural linen.

Common questions
The color code is CSP-795, the hex is available in our color swatch above, and the precise LRV is 40.88, which puts it squarely in the medium range. It will not read as a dark color, but it has enough depth to feel grounded.
It reads as both, depending on your light. In warm or natural daylight it leans greener, in cool or overcast light it pulls grayer. The gray never fully disappears, which is part of why the color feels so settled rather than bright.
Yes, but expect it to read cooler and grayer in that light. If you want the green to stay visible, add warm-toned light fixtures and pair it with materials that have yellow or amber in them, like natural oak or warm brass.
Eggshell is the most practical choice for most interior walls. It adds just enough light reflection to keep the color from looking flat, while hiding minor surface imperfections. Matte works in low-traffic rooms if you prefer a softer look.
No. Our database lists this color as interior only. If you want a similar muted sage for exterior use, ask your Benjamin Moore retailer about comparable colors in their exterior lines.
