Cromwell Gray vs Squirrel Tail paint color comparison

Cromwell Gray vs Squirrel Tail

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 25 vs 20, Squirrel Tail will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Cromwell Gray's red character against Squirrel Tail's yellow and red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 6.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
