Cathedral Gray vs Squirrel Tail

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (26 vs 25), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Cathedral Gray runs red while Squirrel Tail is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
