A greige: soft gray with a little warmth. 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 Egmont Key move from board to board (a spread of 3.2 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.

What to avoid
The near misses, by the numbers.
- Walls at the lightness of Egmont Key: Urbane Bronze (Sherwin-Williams SW 7048, LRV 8.1) sits within a point of its LRV of 8, so wall and floor would blur into one.
- Wood that almost matches Egmont Key: a tone like our Heritage Brown sample, 4.3 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
- Stark blue whites everywhere: a greige floor like Egmont Key turns muddy beside them. Keep the whites a little warm.

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

From the floor's own record
What only this floor's data can say.
One of our most-asked-for floors: estimated 10 times, chosen 2 times since 2022.
Egmont Key is lighter than 6 percent of the 1,197 vinyl floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 46 percent of them.
The same look in real wood: Celestial Gray, Robbins Nature's Canvas Silver 6-1/2" White Oak, only 1.9 apart in color (CIEDE2000).

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.
