Benjamin Moore Vintage Vogue 462
Dark green paint colors are trending but are also actually quite timeless. They look perfect in new builds, remodels, and centuries-old homes. Today we’re exploring the popular Vintage Vogue from Benjamin Moore in the latest from my favorite paint color series.
What color is Benjamin Moore Vintage Vogue?
Vintage Vogue 462 is a deep, earthy, sage green with hints of black and brown. It’s less saturated than some dark green colors and will give your space a cozy and rich feeling.
Undertones of Vintage Vogue
You’ll see black and a bit of brown undertones but it’s definitely a green color. Tints/colorants used to make this color are green, black, and oxide yellow and maybe even a drop or two of orange to neutralize the green a bit.
Vintage Vogue LRV
WHAT’S LRV? All paint colors are rated with a number from 0 to 100 indicating the amount of light that reflects from them. Colors with low numbers reflect less light, making them appear darker. And colors with high numbers reflect more light, giving them a lighter appearance.
Vintage Vogue 642 has a light reflective value of 11.85, indicating that it’s a very dark color as you can plainly see.
Best Places to Use Vintage Vogue
No room is off limits when it comes to this color. But it looks especially nice on kitchen cabinets, built-ins, and living rooms.
It could appear more black in rooms that don’t get much natural light. So if you use it in a room that faces north or east, be sure to have sufficient lighting. And always test the color in the actual room that it will be used. Get samples here: Peel and Stick Vintage Vogue Sample, 8 oz Sample Paint Pot Benjamin Moore Vintage Vogue

Vintage Vogue Kitchen Cabinets
Some of the most stunning, cozy kitchens have cabinets (or islands) painted with dark green paint. Add some brass cabinet hardware and white paint on the walls for a classic style that will never look dated.
Here’s a lovely kitchen in an English home with Vintage Vogue cabinets and white walls. Emma at The Trebleo Home has made it so beautiful with her accents, don’t you think? The natural wood tones, light counters and floors, and the pops of yellow are perfect. Wall color is Farrow & Ball Strong White.

Benjamin Moore Vintage Vogue Walls
If you’re not sure about painting an entire room with Vintage Vogue, consider using it on an accent wall. Mark and Torrey Bishop did that in their updated office space and it looks amazing. The white desks, chairs, and shelving give a nice contrast to the dark green.

Vintage Vogue Built-ins
These built-in bookcases from Sarah at Thrifty Decor Chick are painted with Vintage Vogue and the look incredible. She added wallpaper to the back to keep it light, and the wood shelf and brass cabinet hardware give it a classic look that will never go out of style.

Wow, I searched the internet for days and then typed in the actual comparisons I was looking at and found you. Great job. I would love you posted some more of these compared to a few other ones at SW that you didn’t use. I typically go with SW but found that I haven’t found that perfect green that I am looking for…not in person lol. Thanks
Hello, I am painting my accent wall vintage vogue. What color would you recommend for the surrounding walls? I am going for an off white color. I was thinking ballet white? Any other recommendations? Thanks!
This is so helpful! I purchased a palette
and very happy with the extra info you supply.
I’m planning on using Vintage Vogue for an exterior on a new build and this will help me pull it all together without too
much second-guessing myself. Thank
you!
Hi Susan. I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks for purchasing the palette. Let me know how your project turns out. I’d love to see a picture. ~ Angie
I will! I have tried no less than 17
samples of different Benjamin
Moore greens, including most of the ones in your post. I’m a little extra
when it comes to choosing paint.
Vintage Vogue is a clear winner!
Thank you! This took a lot of work, and I truly appreciate it. It is very helpful, and as I am currently in the middle of an extensive addition, I will definitely be referring back to this!
Hi Linda. I’m glad you found it to be helpful. It truly does take days to write a post like this but it’s my job and I enjoy it too. Good luck with your addition. ~ Angie
