Gargoyle 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. Squirrel Tail (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Gargoyle (LRV 19), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gargoyle 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 7.3 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.
