Meaning

The psychology, symbolism and cultural history of Sage.

In Western cultures, sage symbolizes wisdom and tranquility, often linked to healing practices and purification rituals. Contrastingly, in Eastern traditions, the color can represent harmony and prosperity, reflecting its dual significance across different cultures.

The term 'sage' originates from the Latin 'salvia', referring to the healing properties of the sage plant. This color gained prominence in design and decor in the 20th century, particularly during the rise of the mid-century modern aesthetic, celebrated for its connection to nature.
