Take a step back from bold design and embrace the calming effect of a Sage Green Aesthetic. It’s by no surprise that this muted green hue was one of the most popular colors of the year and it is here to stay. As we all crave to be more in touch with serene surroundings, a Sage Green Aesthetic helps us ground back to the natural elements, soothing greenery, and spa-like environments. It goes to show how powerful design can be in creating an aesthetic to soothe our nervous systems from the busyness that happens around us.
This earthy and muted tone is far from ordinary. This popular, yet versatile theme can be translated through various compositions. The color itself is neutral enough to step aside and be complementarily mixed with a bright color or pattern. Contrary to that, it can stick to its natural state to create a serene effect when paired with other neutrals or botanical elements.
Our Sage Green Aesthetic can adapt through many sub-themes which are represented here as Bright Pairing, Neutral Undertones, and Botanical Gardens. Follow along to check out the corresponding products from our very own Creative Market designers.
Bright Pairing
Bright Pairing is all about creating contrast and juxtaposition by adding pops of color and geometric patterns to complement the more natural sage green hues. Warm and brilliant colors work to bring in rays of sunshine. The geometric patterns create bold contrast when layered on top of each other with distinct colors.

Neutral Undertones
The Neutral Undertone theme embraces all earthy colors of beige, gray, taupe, sand, white, and black. When sage green is paired with these muted tones it creates an even more soothing aesthetic for any design project. This mood board is filled with light and airy design elements like watercolor textures, brush strokes, and natural patterns. When this theme is paired with darker colors like black, navy, or dark gray it provides the ideal amount of contrast to provide visual depth.

Botanical Gardens
Sage green is one of the most prominent colors found in nature so this sub-theme represents its roots. Botanical Gardens is all about plant elements, thin line drawings, and watercolor painted leaves. These earthy color palettes mixed with line drawings create a peaceful, grounded aesthetic that works for wellness branding, wedding design projects, and packaging design.
