The color is more of a gray than a true sage, but you do see a tiny hint of that green. The length of the arms is what I just could not get over. The bell sleeves came about 3 or4 inches past my fingers, and I have two toddlers so that's just not an option for me because I am a girl who wants to show off her bell sleeves!! The other aspect of this sweater that I didn't care for is the neck length, between the shoulders... It is just very wide. If you have a really boho-chic style, then this is definitely the sweater for you; unfortunately, it just didn't work for me. :-(
