Copley Gray vs Squirrel Tail paint color comparison

Copley Gray vs Squirrel Tail

Copley Gray and Squirrel Tail come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 26 vs 25 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Copley Gray leans red, Squirrel Tail reads yellow and red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
