Muted Sage Behr N350-5

Muted Sage LRV and undertone

Behr Muted Sage (N350-5) has an LRV of 28, placing it in the dark range of paint colors. Light Reflectance Value measures how much visible light a color reflects, on a scale from 0 to 100. At this level, the finish reflects less light than lighter neutrals, so the painted surface can appear deeper and more substantial. Its hex value is #93907E, and its calculated color family is beige, with a warm yellow undertone.

Although its name suggests green, Muted Sage is classified as beige in the supplied color data. Its warm undertone can become more noticeable under warm lighting, while cooler daylight may change how that warmth appears. Because the LRV is relatively low, consider the amount of natural light and the size of the room before choosing it for extensive wall coverage. A lighter trim color can create a stronger visual boundary, while a coordinated neutral may produce less contrast.

Muted Sage in other brands

The closest listed alternative is Sherwin-Williams Evergreen Fog (SW 9130), with an LRV of 30.0 and a ΔE of 3.6. Here, ΔE measures the numerical difference between two colors: values from 2 to 4 indicate close matches that remain visibly different side by side. Valspar Coastal Villa (6005-2A) has an LRV of 29.92 and a ΔE of 5.7, making it a more general visual alternative. Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray (HC-168) has an LRV of 23.33 and a ΔE of 5.9.

Other options include Sherwin-Williams Acacia Haze (SW 9132), with a ΔE of 6.2, and PPG Stonehenge Greige (PPG1024-5), also with a ΔE of 6.2. These differences exceed the close-match range, so compare actual samples rather than assuming the colors are interchangeable. Lighting, surrounding finishes, and paint sheen can also affect perceived differences.

Lighter and darker Behr alternatives

For a lighter option, Behr Jungle Camouflage (N350-4) has an LRV of 38, ten points above Muted Sage. Behr Perfect Taupe (PPU18-13) reaches 42, while Behr Jojoba (N390-3) reaches 47. Behr Urban Nature (S380-3) is lighter still, at 51. Higher LRV values generally indicate greater light reflection, which can help a room feel brighter.

These alternatives have ΔE values ranging from 7.2 to 13.9, so they are not near-identical matches. Choose among them by comparing their appearance with your flooring and fixed finishes. Before painting an entire room, test samples on different walls and observe them in morning and afternoon light.
