Squirrel Tail vs Vulcanite
Where Squirrel Tail belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Vulcanite is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Vulcanite (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Squirrel Tail (LRV 25), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.2 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.
