I have been searching for the perfect French Country green paint color for a long time.
French Country green can’t be too blue nor can it be too green.
It needs to speak to the sunny hillsides of France which yields a soft, sun-washed shade of green that almost appears gray.
I am thrilled to say – I found it.
Dixie Belle’s Dried Sage.
The final pictures actually pull a little lighter than they appear in person.
In person, they are the perfect warm, sun-washed gray/green.
To test out the green I decided to redo our kitchen benches because why not?
