How it reads
Cedar Grove is a mid-light sage — green enough to be clearly a color from across the room, grey enough never to look minty. At LRV 46 it sits in the sweet spot for a full-room green: it holds its tone in daylight and softens rather than muddies as the light fades.
It is a natural for panelling and built-ins, where the shadow lines deepen it and the flat planes stay light. It flatters warm wood, leather and brass, and it takes on a faint blue cast in cool north light.

Questions
Is Cedar Grove a sage green?
Yes — a classic grey-based sage, slightly cooler than most, with a blue lean in shade.
Does Cedar Grove work on trim and walls together?
Very well. Painting panelling, trim and walls in Cedar Grove gives a soft, enveloping room where the mouldings show as shadow rather than contrast.
