Nob Hill Sage
What Nob Hill Sage Actually Looks Like
Nob Hill Sage is a true mid-tone sage, sitting comfortably between pale mint and deep eucalyptus. The hex confirms an almost perfectly balanced green with equal red and blue channels, which keeps it from skewing too warm or too cool. It reads as a grayed, muted green in most interior light, calm rather than vivid, and it holds its sage character consistently across the room.
Nob Hill Sage Undertones
The RGB values show very close parity between the red and blue channels, with green naturally higher. That balance means the color carries minimal yellow or blue pull. In warmer incandescent light it can edge slightly toward a soft, dusty olive tone. In cooler north or east light it tends to read as a cleaner, more neutral sage. It is not a strongly warm or strongly cool green.
Where Nob Hill Sage Works Best
A mid-tone like this works well on walls in rooms that get moderate to good natural light. It has enough depth to give a room a settled, grounded feeling without going heavy. In smaller or darker rooms it can read a bit flat, so pairing it with plenty of white trim helps maintain clarity. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and dining spaces where a relaxed green atmosphere is the goal.
Where to put Nob Hill Sage
Sage greens have a long track record in bedrooms because they read as restful without being stark. Nob Hill Sage at this depth gives the walls enough presence to feel intentional while staying easy on the eyes in both morning and evening light.
In a living room with good natural light, this color holds up well throughout the day. It can feel slightly cooler in a north-facing room, so warming up the space with wood furniture and warm-toned textiles keeps it from feeling flat.
The muted, dusty quality of this sage works in a dining room setting because it does not compete with food or tableware. Warm lighting in the evening keeps it from going too gray.
A neutral sage at this mid-tone saturation is easy to spend time with for long stretches. It is quiet enough not to distract and has enough color to feel more personal than a simple gray or white.
What to Pair With Nob Hill Sage
No coordinating colors are listed in our database for this color at this time. As a balanced, neutral sage, it pairs naturally with warm whites and off-whites for trim, soft creamy tones for adjacent walls, and warm wood tones or natural linen textiles throughout the space.

Colors that clash with Nob Hill Sage
Placing Nob Hill Sage next to a cool blue-gray in an open floor plan can make the sage read slightly yellow by contrast, which is rarely the intention.
A stark, blue-white trim can pull out any cool undertones in the sage and make the wall color look a little washed out, particularly in north light.
At this mid-tone, a high-gloss finish will reflect a lot of light and can make the color look uneven or patchy across a large wall.
Common questions
The LRV is 59.5, which puts it squarely in the mid-tone range. It reflects a reasonable amount of light, but in a room with limited or north-facing windows it can read darker and grayer than you expect. Sample it on the actual wall before committing.

Yes, it is available in both interior and exterior Benjamin Moore formulas.
Eggshell is the most versatile choice for walls. It gives just enough sheen to be wipeable without amplifying any unevenness in the color across large surfaces. Matte works well in bedrooms where you want a softer, flatter look.
