We're after something a light sage-y for our living room but we're struggling and I'm fed up of wasting money on samples.

2 windows, south and north facing. It's quite a light room. We'll have a soft white on the ceiling.

We've tried Farrow and Ball Pigeon which turned out grey. Card room Green was too dark and muddy despite looking perfect online. In fact it looked so different to the pictures, my husband was convinced we bought the wrong colour. (We dont have a F&B budget but would have got them to mix a dupe).

Dulux Tranquil Dawn was too blue (like a pale duck egg). As was Lust Elderflower and Good Home Cardav.

Lick Green 01 is the closest we've found but it's not quite right. Maybe too yellow and a smidge too light?

Any suggestions?

Overtly olive is actually a lovely pale sage

Came to suggest this

Also F&B Old White - love it. But it is very muted.
Mizzle is a beautiful colour but I would say has a tiny hint of blue. A fresher colour than some F&B (we have in bathroom rather than a living area).
Fired Earth Vert de Terre is a very ‘easy to live with’ sage.
Fired Earth Stone Ochre looks like a slightly muddy sage in our south facing lounge but the north facing living area looks a completely different colour - much more of a taupe, albeit green tinged.
DH cannot see the difference in any of these colours though so it’s possible I overthink it 😂

Johnstones Boulder Lichen. I have just put it in my spare room. Looks lovely

The images are two completely different greens but my living room is painted pretty much the same as the second one and it's F&B French Gray.

We have just painted our lounge farrow and ball lichen which is a lovely sage green with f and b shaded white on the ceiling.
