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.

Light reflectance of the floor and its paintsOn a scale from 0 (black) to 100 (white), the floor sits at 8. Walls at 47. Trim at 84. Cabinets at 83. The shaded band is within 30 points of the floor, where a wall would blur into it.0255075100Floor 8Walls 47Cabinets 83Trim 84

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.

Cabinets

Questions

About Egmont Key and color, answered from the numbers above.

What wall color goes with Egmont Key flooring?

Amazing Gray (Sherwin-Williams SW 7044, LRV 46.9): a warm white or greige in the same soft family as Egmont Key (hue 81° against its 78°). It sits 39 LRV points from the floor (LRV 8), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart. Or Thunder (Benjamin Moore AF-685, LRV 47.6).

What trim and ceiling color goes with Egmont Key?

Greek Villa (Sherwin-Williams SW 7551, LRV 84.2): 76 points over Egmont Key in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.3) to read white, not blue, beside its greige undertone.

What cabinet color goes with Egmont Key?

Snowbound (Sherwin-Williams SW 7004, LRV 82.8): a light color with some life in it, so cabinets float off Egmont Key (a 75 point step in LRV). Cabinets in Snowbound or Greek Villa: a dark floor needs light cabinets to float above it.

What wood furniture goes with Egmont Key?

Contrast, not a match: a step lighter: a warm gray brown wood (like our Warm Gray stain sample). A wood like our Heritage Brown sample is only 4.3 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss.

Is Egmont Key a light or a dark floor?

Dark: LRV 8 and L* 34, measured from its own picture, with a soft greige undertone. At LRV 8, Egmont Key is dark: it is at its best in a big room with good light and warm lamps, and it shows dust, pet hair and fine scratches more than a mid tone.

What colors should I avoid with Egmont Key?

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.

The room it suits

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

At LRV 8, Egmont Key is dark: it is at its best in a big room with good light and warm lamps, and it shows dust, pet hair and fine scratches more than a mid tone.

At 9.06 inches a board, Egmont Key lays about 16 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.

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.

A step lighter in the same line: Glistening SandLRV 24, measured the same way, against 8 for Egmont Key.

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).

To get this color on an oak floor you already have, the nearest of our stains is Heritage Brown (4.3 apart, CIEDE2000, from our own photographs on red oak).

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.
