Read from its own picture, not from a name.
An amber undertone, warm and a little orange. 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 Gold Coast Acacia 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.
Named colors with the maker's code and LRV, each linked to its page.
Its undertone leans green (hue 133°), which quiets the orange in Gold Coast Acacia (hue 61°) instead of echoing it.

The near misses, by the numbers.
About Gold Coast Acacia and color, answered from the numbers above.
Sea Salt (Sherwin-Williams SW 6204, LRV 63.2): its undertone leans green (hue 133°), which quiets the orange in Gold Coast Acacia (hue 61°) instead of echoing it. It sits 52 LRV points from the floor (LRV 11), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart. Or Palladian Blue (Benjamin Moore HC-144, LRV 60.4).
Alabaster (Sherwin-Williams SW 7008, LRV 82.2): 71 points over Gold Coast Acacia in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.3) to read white, not blue, beside its amber undertone.
Upward (Sherwin-Williams SW 6239, LRV 57.4): a light color with some life in it, so cabinets float off Gold Coast Acacia (a 47 point step in LRV). Cabinets in Upward or Alabaster: a dark floor needs light cabinets to float above it.
Contrast, not a match: a step darker: a charcoal wood (like our True Black stain sample), or a step lighter: a light natural wood (like our Weathered Oak stain sample). A wood like our Chestnut sample is only 4.0 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss.
Living room: Sea Salt walls, Alabaster trim and crown, a patterned rug in mist blue and oatmeal on Gold Coast Acacia, furniture in a charcoal wood, unlacquered brass lamps. Kitchen: Cabinets in Upward so they float off Gold Coast Acacia, Alabaster walls and trim, aged brass pulls.
Dark: LRV 11 and L* 39, measured from its own picture, with an amber undertone. At LRV 11, Gold Coast Acacia 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.
Walls at the lightness of Gold Coast Acacia: Newburg Green (Benjamin Moore HC-158, LRV 10.6) sits within a point of its LRV of 11, so wall and floor would blur into one. Wood that almost matches Gold Coast Acacia: a tone like our Chestnut sample, 4.0 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.
At LRV 11, Gold Coast Acacia 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 5 inches a board, Gold Coast Acacia lays about 29 boards across a 12 foot room.
Gold Coast Acacia 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 4 times since 2025.
Gold Coast Acacia is lighter than 15 percent of the 1,197 vinyl floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 97 percent of them.
The same look in real wood: Cinnamon low sheen, Superior Premier Solid Maple 3-1/4 in, only 0.6 apart in color (CIEDE2000).
To get this color on an oak floor you already have, the nearest of our stains is Nutmeg (4.0 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.
