Rich, thanks for mentioning the sage color. I've been vacillating between it and the mustard. Love the sage (though I don't recall having seen it in the real world). I have a Mermaid Platy and an eggshell guacamole green Ritchey Outback so I thought I might mix it up for some diversity. But I do like that soft, understated sage. Online it looks like it may have a bit of a blue-green hue (?)
