What color are your squirrels?

In Connecticut, where I am right now, they are gray. In Colorado, where I live, they have a lot of brownish red in their gray.

In Austin, we have white squirrels! Not most squirrels here (which are some inconsequential and forgettable greyish/tannish color I guess? I never really looked close enough I guess) but some -- i.e., I've seen probably four white ones in our front yard since moving here almost two years ago. Also, the white squirrel population here is famous! But not technically albino, apparently (at least I've read that in other places), despite some fans thinking otherwise:
