Squirrel grey vs Teal Stencil in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Squirrel grey and Teal Stencil are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Squirrel grey vs Teal Stencil Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Squirrel grey on one side and Teal Stencil on the other.
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.
