Sage Green Color Code: The Essence of Nature & Serenity

HEX #9DC183: Master the ultimate nature-inspired neutral for aesthetic, calm design

What is Sage Green? (HEX #9DC183)

Sage Green is a muted, earthy green that takes its hue from the dried leaves of the sage plant. It is a sophisticated mix of green, gray, and a hint of yellow, making it one of the most versatile neutrals in the design world.

In 2026, Sage Green has become the cornerstone of Biophilic Design, representing a collective desire for peace, growth, and a connection to the natural environment.

Unlike vibrant emeralds or neon greens, Sage Green acts as a calming backdrop. It is psychologically linked to renewal and harmony. In web design, it reduces visual fatigue, making it perfect for wellness brands, sustainable e-commerce, and minimalist portfolios.

Why Sage Green is the "New Neutral"

Its sophisticated gray undertones allow it to function as a neutral while still providing the emotional benefits of green - making it perfect for brands seeking both calmness and character.
