I have been looking for a perfect sage green and just haven't hit it. I have looked at swatches in the store, bought samples and tried them home but found colors that are either too olive, too blue, too grey, or too lime green/"sherbet-y." I want something that is a little on the grey side, but not too much grey...I want green, not grey.
We did our living room in a Behr color called Restful 400F-4
It's a lighter green, but not too lime colored, maybe slightly grayish. I wish I had a good daytime picture, I have a few pictures I took at night but it's tough to really see the color due to the shadows. Also, it's much less lime/bright than it looks on the Behr website. We were originally looking for something bright, but after we painted the walls it was a very neutral and soothing color. We love it.

My living room is also painted with Behr Restful. I too love my color. I have dark gray leather couches in the room and I think the color combination works well.
Oooh, I googled Laura Ashley Olive 3 and found some photos of a gorgeous dining room painted with it - the cherry antique furniture didn't hurt the look either ... what a beautiful color!
I have Sherwin Williams Svelte Sage in my living room. It's been on the wall now for 3 years and I still love it as much as the day it was applied. We have bright white trim, black iron furniture and a dark chocolate brown leather sectional. I have a couple of pics with our old couch and loveseat, but you'll get the idea.
lovely!!!
that is the same color I used when I just painted my dining/kitchen area. It's so fresh and so versatile.
oh and........I own the same candlesticks.......did you get yours at Kirklands?
