The floor, measured

Read from its own picture, not from a name.

LRV: 37
Lightness L*: 67
Undertone: Golden
Hue: 84°

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.

Dusty Dune has a gentle movement from board to board (a spread of 2.9 in L*): calm, but not flat.

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.

Wood, rugs and metals

Contrast, not a match.

Wood furniture

A step darker: a warm gray brown woodAbout 19 points darker than Dusty Dune in L* (48 against 67), far enough to read as a choice. Like our Warm Gray stain sample.

A step lighter: black or painted piecesDusty Dune is lighter than any wood stain we photographed (L* 67), so contrast comes from black, painted or upholstered pieces.

Rugs and fabric

Tone on tone: walnut brown9 in chroma, half the warmth of Dusty Dune (19), and 34 points darker in L*.

Across the wheel: storm blueHue 264°, straight across the color wheel from the 84° of Dusty Dune, softened to balance it.

Grounding: mochaA deep note at L* 37, 30 points from the 67 of Dusty Dune, so a rug keeps its edge.

Metals

Matte blackBlack works with every undertone; beside Dusty Dune at LRV 37 it gives the room its outline.

Aged brassA warm metal that agrees with the golden undertone of Dusty Dune (hue 84°).

Unlacquered brassLeft unsealed, it darkens with handling to a softer warm tone beside Pale Oak walls.

What to avoid

The near misses, by the numbers.

Walls at the lightness of Dusty Dune: Jockey Hollow Gray (Benjamin Moore HC-108, LRV 39.5) sits 3 points from its LRV of 37, so wall and floor would blur into one.
Wood that almost matches Dusty Dune: a tone like our Country White sample, 6.3 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Walls that lean yellow: yellow on yellow flattens the golden undertone of Dusty Dune (hue 84°).

Is Dusty Dune a light or a dark floor?

Mid tone: LRV 37 and L* 67, measured from its own picture, with a golden undertone. At LRV 37, Dusty Dune 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 Dusty Dune: Jockey Hollow Gray (Benjamin Moore HC-108, LRV 39.5) sits 3 points from its LRV of 37, so wall and floor would blur into one.

The room it suits

Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.

At LRV 37, Dusty Dune 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 7.2 inches a board, Dusty Dune lays about 20 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.

Dusty Dune is waterproof, so it belongs in kitchens, baths, mudrooms and basements as well as living spaces.

Wear layer20 milAbout 0.51 mm of clear protection over the printed wood, the part that takes the traffic.

From the floor's own record

What only this floor's data can say.

Dusty Dune is lighter than 76 percent of the 1,204 vinyl floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 78 percent of them.

A step lighter in the same line: Del MarLRV 40, measured the same way, against 37 for Dusty Dune.

A step darker in the same line: New CastleLRV 33, measured the same way, against 37 for Dusty Dune.

How we chose

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.
