Forest Floor vs Trailing Vines
Forest Floor and Trailing Vines come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Forest Floor reads as grey, while Trailing Vines reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 14 vs 14 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 2.4 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Forest Floor vs Trailing Vines in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Forest Floor and Trailing Vines are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Forest Floor on one side and Trailing Vines on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
