Benjamin Moore Vintage Vogue: A Complete Color Review

Looking for the perfect dark green paint color for your home? Let’s talk about Benjamin Moore Vintage Vogue and if it might be right for your home!

Green is one of those colors that can do it all. It can feel bold and dramatic or soft and calming.

Some greens fade into the background like a neutral, while others bring just the right pop of color.

I’ve always loved how versatile green paint can be. From earthy olives to cool blue-greens, there’s a shade for every style.

Vintage Vogue by Benjamin Moore stands out as one of those rich, smoky greens that’s hard to pin down. It’s dark, moody, and elegant, with just enough color to make a statement.

Let's talk about all the details of Vintage Vogue.

Vintage Vogue, Benjamin Moore, 462

Vintage Vogue is a dark olive green with a soft, smoky finish. It’s moody but not overpowering.

I like to think of it as a grown-up version of army green. It’s great when you want depth and color without going too bright or too trendy.

Some people use it instead of black or brown when they want something darker, but still colorful.

Undertones

Vintage Vogue doesn't have strong undertones.

Vintage Vogue's low LRV paired with its minimal undertones means it holds its color pretty well, regardless of changes in lighting.

In bright, south-facing rooms, you might see a touch more warmth or a very faint green-blue shift.

In a north-facing rooms, it can feel more shadowy and cooler, which I personally love for cozy rooms.

Best uses

I like to use dark paint colors like Vintage Vogue for:

• Walls of a room you want to feel cozier such as a bedroom, living room, or den (you can even paint the trim and moldings for a more sophisticated feel)
• Creating a focal point, such as a fireplace
• Built-ins
• Kitchen cabinets
• Interior or exterior doors
• Home exterior
• Shutters

It’s the kind of color that adds weight and style without being too much.

FAQS

Here are some common questions I get about this beautiful dark green.

What color is Vintage Vogue BM?

Vintage Vogue is a deep, smoky green. It feels rich, timeless, and a little dramatic.

You can use it as a moody alternative to black or brown, but it still adds color to the space. I love how grounded it feels without being too bold.

Can you use BM Vintage Vogue for kitchen cabinets?

Yes, Vintage Vogue looks great on kitchen cabinets!

It's a good choice if you want a moody, sophisticated kitchen. Pair it with brass or gold hardware to warm things up, or keep it sleek with matte black.

What is the difference: BM Vintage Vogue vs Backwoods?

Both are dark green paint colors from Benjamin Moore, but they have subtle differences.

Backwoods is a touch lighter (LRV 13 vs. 12 for Vintage Vogue) and comes across slightly warmer and greener.

Vintage Vogue is smokier and has more depth. If you’re unsure, swatch them side by side. Lighting makes a big difference!

Does Vintage Vogue go with Revere Pewter?

Yes, it does. Revere Pewter is a soft, balanced greige that works really well with the smoky green of Vintage Vogue.

Both colors walk the line between warm and cool, which makes them easy to pair in the same room.

What is the difference: BM Vintage Vogue vs Dark Olive?

Both are both dark green paint colors.

Vintage Vogue is darker, with an LRV of 12, while Dark Olive sits at 14.

The biggest difference? Vintage Vogue looks more green. Dark Olive leans more yellow, which gives it a slightly more muted, earthy feel.

If you’re stuck choosing, I always recommend testing both on your wall first.

Is BM Vintage Vogue warm or cool?

It’s right in the middle. That’s what makes it so versatile.

Vintage Vogue has a neutral base, so it can read slightly warmer or cooler depending on the light. It works beautifully in both cozy and modern spaces.
