Cinnamon Slate vs Vintage Vogue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cinnamon Slate reads as grey, while Vintage Vogue reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cinnamon Slate (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Vintage Vogue (LRV 12), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cinnamon Slate runs red while Vintage Vogue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

6 real rooms side by side. Seeing Cinnamon Slate and Vintage Vogue 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 brightness difference is modest but present — Cinnamon Slate gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Cinnamon Slate reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
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. Cinnamon Slate has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
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. Cinnamon Slate reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Home Office
The test for a home office color isn't how it looks in a quick glance — it's whether it still feels right after a full day of work. Cinnamon Slate reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Mudroom
Mudrooms are seen in passing, often under whatever light comes through the door — a context that favors colors with some depth. Cinnamon Slate has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
