Polaris Blue vs Squirrel Tail

Polaris Blue and Squirrel Tail come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Polaris Blue reads as blue, while Squirrel Tail reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 29 for Polaris Blue vs 25 for Squirrel Tail — means Polaris Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Polaris Blue leans blue, Squirrel Tail reads yellow and red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 17.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
