Benjamin Moore

Squirrel Tail

1476

Squirrel Tail reads as a warm gray-brown with toasted, earthy undertones that prevent it from skewing cool or ashy. With an LRV of 24.91, it absorbs a significant amount of light and produces a noticeably subdued wall tone, particularly in north-facing rooms. The brown cast becomes more visible under warm artificial light.

It layers effectively alongside Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter and Edgecomb Gray for lighter tonal transitions, while White Dove works as a clean trim counterpart. Deeper accents like Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy reinforce the grounded quality without competing with its muted warmth.
