Why sage green, and why now? One spokeswoman for a leading paint company notes that this shade of green is a connector of a wide range of other colors, like the stem of a plant: “That green stem of the flower becomes this connector—this enabler, almost. It’s able to bring together all these other colors.” A shelter magazine notes that “silvery greens are a big gardening trend, as ethereal moon gardens gain in popularity.” Others point out the soothing spa-like effects from a soft grey-green. The way that nature-inspired hues feed a craving for comfort and calm. How they fulfill the desire to feel rooted.
