Morphology
The color term is directly compositional: combining 'white' (very light) with 'sage' (a muted grey‑green) yields a pale, whitish sage hue. Color-naming by combining familiar color words is a common, predictable pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
White sage is a soft gray-green color named after the plant because the pale, silvery leaves of the sage look that color. Designers choose white sage to make rooms feel calm and natural.
