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 Desert Haze move from board to board (a spread of 6.9 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 93°), so Desert Haze stays golden without turning yellow.

Contrast, not a match.
The near misses, by the numbers.
About Desert Haze and color, answered from the numbers above.
Crushed Ice (Sherwin-Williams SW 7647, LRV 65.5): a soft neutral with a touch of warmth (hue 93°), so Desert Haze stays golden without turning yellow. It sits 35 LRV points from the floor (LRV 31), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart. Or Cloud White (Benjamin Moore OC-130, LRV 85.1).
Alabaster (Sherwin-Williams SW 7008, LRV 82.2): 52 points over Desert Haze in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.3) to read white, not blue, beside its golden undertone.
Hale Navy (Benjamin Moore HC-154, LRV 8.4): deep and cool, about 161° around the color wheel from Desert Haze and 22 points darker in LRV, so each makes the other look richer. Lower cabinets or an island in Hale Navy, uppers and trim in Alabaster. The floor at LRV 31 sits between the two (8 and 82).
Contrast, not a match: a step darker: a mid brown wood (like our Aged Barrel stain sample), or a step lighter: black or painted pieces. A wood like our Natural sample is only 4.6 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss.
Mid tone: LRV 31 and L* 62, measured from its own picture, with a golden undertone. At LRV 31, Desert Haze 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 Desert Haze: Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams SW 9130, LRV 30.4) sits within a point of its LRV of 31, so wall and floor would blur into one. Wood that almost matches Desert Haze: a tone like our Natural sample, 4.6 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.
At LRV 31, Desert Haze 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, Desert Haze lays about 21 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.
Desert Haze 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 6 times since 2025.
Desert Haze is lighter than 62 percent of the 1,197 vinyl floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 99 percent of them.
The same look in real wood: Reunion, Shaw Floors Sanctuary Hickory, only 0.6 apart in color (CIEDE2000).
To get this color on an oak floor you already have, the nearest of our stains is Natural (4.6 apart, CIEDE2000, from our own photographs on red oak).

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.
