Read from its own picture, not from a name.
A golden undertone, warm without leaning red. LRV is light reflectance value, the share of light a surface sends back, the same scale paint makers print on every chip: 0 is black, 100 is white.
The grain and color of Aurora Oak move from board to board (a spread of 3.1 in L*), which helps hide everyday wear.
The shaded band is within 30 points of the floor. A wall inside it blurs into the floor; BS 8300 asks for at least 30 points between surfaces that meet.
Named colors with the maker's code and LRV, each linked to its page.
A soft neutral with a touch of warmth (hue 110°), so Aurora Oak stays golden without turning yellow.

See it at Sherwin-WilliamsDeep and cool, about 179° around the color wheel from Aurora Oak and 27 points darker in LRV, so each makes the other look richer.

Contrast, not a match.
The near misses, by the numbers.
About Aurora Oak and color, answered from the numbers above.
Simply White (Benjamin Moore OC-117, LRV 89.5): a soft neutral with a touch of warmth (hue 110°), so Aurora Oak stays golden without turning yellow. It sits 50 LRV points from the floor (LRV 39), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart. Or Dover White (Sherwin-Williams SW 6385, LRV 82.5).
Greek Villa (Sherwin-Williams SW 7551, LRV 84.2): 45 points over Aurora Oak in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.3) to read white, not blue, beside its golden undertone.
Van Deusen Blue (Benjamin Moore HC-156, LRV 12): deep and cool, about 179° around the color wheel from Aurora Oak and 27 points darker in LRV, so each makes the other look richer. Lower cabinets or an island in Van Deusen Blue, uppers and trim in Greek Villa. The floor at LRV 39 sits between the two (12 and 84).
Contrast, not a match: a step darker: a honey tone (like our Warm Gray stain sample), or a step lighter: black or painted pieces. A wood like our Country White sample is only 3.7 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss.
Mid tone: LRV 39 and L* 69, measured from its own picture, with a golden undertone. At LRV 39, Aurora Oak is a mid tone: it holds its color in a sunny room and hides everyday dust and pet hair better than a very dark or very light floor.
Walls at the lightness of Aurora Oak: Jockey Hollow Gray (Benjamin Moore HC-108, LRV 39.5) sits within a point of its LRV of 39, so wall and floor would blur into one. Wood that almost matches Aurora Oak: a tone like our Country White sample, 3.7 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.
At LRV 39, Aurora Oak is a mid tone: it holds its color in a sunny room and hides everyday dust and pet hair better than a very dark or very light floor.
At 7 inches a board, Aurora Oak lays about 21 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.
Aurora Oak is waterproof, so it belongs in kitchens, baths, mudrooms and basements as well as living spaces.
What only this floor's data can say.
One of our most-asked-for floors: estimated 6 times, chosen 4 times since 2021.

Paint names, codes, hex and LRV as Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore publish them (each color links to its page).
BS 8300-2:2018 asks for a difference of at least 30 LRV points between adjacent surfaces, such as a floor and a wall, so the surfaces read apart.
The floor measured from its own picture in CIELAB (D65); the wood tones from our own photographs of 37 stains on oak.
A picture's lightness depends a little on how it was lit, so the floor's LRV is read from the evenly lit field the visualizer lays and rounded. See the real floor before you choose paint: visit the showroom, or ask for a free measure and estimate.

Price codes
A price code is a color, violet through red, that places a floor among others of its kind by its price supplied and installed. Violet is the most affordable, red the top of the range.
Luxury vinyl
Prefinished hardwood
It makes floors quick to compare here and to match to their samples in the showroom. The price of your job is the one on your written, line-item estimate. A floor without a code, such as laminate, is priced installed after a free measure.
