Silver Sage Color – #8e8572: Codes and Complete Breakdown
By
Published on
The plant behind the name, Salvia argentea, grows enormous woolly leaves covered in white hairs so dense they look frosted. This Silver Sage color takes the dried, late-season version of that foliage instead of the silvery young growth. What you get is a warm grey-green closer to a dusty stem than anything metallic.
