Which should you pick
Rules of thumb computed from the LRV and Lab values in the table above; no room test was done.
- Pick Vintage Vogue (BM 462) for a small room or a north-facing room, because it is 2.8 LRV points lighter (11.9 vs 9), so it bounces back more of the limited light
- Pick Vintage Vogue (BM 462) for a south-facing room, because its Lab b* is 7.1 against 8.5, so it is the cooler of the two and offsets warm direct sun
- Pick Vogue Green (SW 0065) to warm a north-facing room, because it is the warmer of the two (Lab b* 8.5), which counters cool indirect light
