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 Distant Shore move from board to board (a spread of 3.0 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 97°), so Distant Shore stays golden without turning yellow.

See it at Sherwin-WilliamsDeep and cool, about 175° around the color wheel from Distant Shore and 17 points darker in LRV, so each makes the other look richer.

The near misses, by the numbers.
About Distant Shore and color, answered from the numbers above.
Repose Gray (Sherwin-Williams SW 7015, LRV 58.2): a soft neutral with a touch of warmth (hue 97°), so Distant Shore stays golden without turning yellow. It sits 33 LRV points from the floor (LRV 26), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart. Or Pale Oak (Benjamin Moore OC-20, LRV 68.6).
Alabaster (Sherwin-Williams SW 7008, LRV 82.2): 57 points over Distant Shore 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 175° around the color wheel from Distant Shore and 17 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 26 sits between the two (8 and 82).
Contrast, not a match: a step darker: a mid brown wood (like our Chestnut stain sample), or a step lighter: a pale, bleached wood (like our Country White stain sample).
Mid tone: LRV 26 and L* 58, measured from its own picture, with a golden undertone. At LRV 26, Distant Shore 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 Distant Shore: Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams SW 9130, LRV 30.4) sits 5 points from its LRV of 26, so wall and floor would blur into one. Creamy yellow walls: yellow on yellow flattens the golden undertone of Distant Shore (hue 92°).
Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.
At LRV 26, Distant Shore 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 9.06 inches a board, Distant Shore lays about 16 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.
Distant Shore 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 2 times since 2021.
Distant Shore is lighter than 49 percent of the 1,197 vinyl floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 49 percent of them.
The same look in real wood: Vantage Point, Robbins Sheridan Trail 6-1/2", only 2.3 apart in color (CIEDE2000).
To get this color on an oak floor you already have, the nearest of our stains is Rustic Beige (9.3 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.
