What Is Garden Party?
Hex Code: #C8D4B0
Tone: Soft sage with hints of silver and sunlight
Mood: Calming, optimistic, grounded
Garden Party is a quiet, graceful green that sits somewhere between sage and celery. With a slightly muted undertone, it’s endlessly versatile. Think heirloom herbs on a kitchen windowsill, ivy-covered garden gates, or the tranquil hush of an early summer morning in full bloom.
Why Garden Party Is the Sage Green Color for Summer 2025
June marks the beginning of summer’s full expression—lush gardens, golden hour gatherings, and barefoot walks through shaded paths. Garden Party was chosen as the sage green color for summer 2025 because it reflects this spirit in the most elegant, understated way.
Forecasts for Summer 2025 color trends show green leading the charge—especially lighter, cooler tones that embody balance, growth, and restoration. Garden Party embodies this mood and offers a more versatile and livable version of summer green. Whether used in home design, seasonal tablescapes, or warm-weather wardrobes, this shade brings the feeling of an invitation to exhale.
