Vintage VogueBenjamin MoorevsSmooth WhiteJotunΔE 43.4Very different colors

Vintage Vogue is a Benjamin Moore color while Smooth White comes from Jotun. Vintage Vogue reads as green-grey, while Smooth White reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 59 vs 12, Smooth White will read as the brighter of the two — a 48-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Vintage Vogue's green character against Smooth White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 43.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Smooth White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Vintage Vogue would.
