Recommend me a sage green exterior wood paint please

I’ve painted the garden bench with Ronseal exterior wood paint in sage: www.homebase.co.uk/ronseal-garden-paint-sage-2-5l_p558197

But it isn’t sage at all. I persevered, thinking it might dry to a sage colour. Even did two coats. But it is definitely turquoise and I really don’t want turquoise, I want a sage green.

I will treat the turquoise as a base coat, but would appreciate a recommendation. I was very tempted by a purple/aubergine type colour but Homebase didn’t have any in stock. It was super slim pickings and there was no Cuprinol paint available at all - everyone must have had the same idea!

Wickes exterior muted Olive

That looks a lovely colour, thank you. Have you used it please and if you have, how many coats did you need to apply? The ronseal tin said to apply three. I have two coats of the turquoise on the bench already; I’m guessing I will need two coats of the new colour.

I used Wilko outdoor paint on my door. Country garden. Cheap and brilliant.

Thank you - Wilko is easier for me to get to, so I will see if they have it in stock.
