Carter Gray vs Squirrel Tail
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Squirrel Tail (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Carter Gray (LRV 22), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Carter Gray runs red while Squirrel Tail is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
