Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from 'gray' (a color) and 'sage' (a herb commonly described as grey-green), so its meaning as a muted gray-green tone is directly derivable from the constituents. Using a plant name as a color label (e.g., 'sage green') is a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended color sense.
Etymology
Gray sage as a color name comes from the plant's soft gray-green leaves, so painters and designers borrowed the leaf image to describe a 'calm', natural shade today.
