Vintage Vogue vs Chic Shade
Where Vintage Vogue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Chic Shade is a Cloverdale Paint color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Chic Shade (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Vintage Vogue (LRV 12), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 22.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Vintage Vogue vs Chic Shade in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Vintage Vogue and Chic Shade in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Chic Shade will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Vintage Vogue would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Chic Shade reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Vintage Vogue.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Chic Shade returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Chic Shade reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Vintage Vogue.
