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.
Golden Oak has a gentle movement from board to board (a spread of 2.1 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.
Named colors with the maker's code and LRV, each linked to its page.
A soft neutral with a touch of warmth (hue 105°), so Golden Oak stays golden without turning yellow.

The near misses, by the numbers.
About Golden Oak and color, answered from the numbers above.
Silver Satin (Benjamin Moore OC-26, LRV 74.9): a soft neutral with a touch of warmth (hue 105°), so Golden Oak stays golden without turning yellow. It sits 43 LRV points from the floor (LRV 32), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart. Or Dover White (Sherwin-Williams SW 6385, LRV 82.5).
Swiss Coffee (Benjamin Moore OC-45, LRV 81.9): 50 points over Golden Oak in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.7) to read white, not blue, beside its golden undertone.
Peppercorn (Sherwin-Williams SW 7674, LRV 9.7): deep and quiet, 22 points darker than Golden Oak in LRV, a frame for a golden floor. Lower cabinets or an island in Peppercorn, uppers and trim in Swiss Coffee. The floor at LRV 32 sits between the two (10 and 82).
Contrast, not a match: a step darker: a mid brown wood (like our Nutmeg stain sample), or a step lighter: black or painted pieces. A wood like our Silvered Gray sample is only 2.3 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss.
Living room: Silver Satin walls and Swiss Coffee trim, a walnut brown rug with a mocha edge on Golden Oak, a coffee table in a mid brown wood. Kitchen: Peppercorn on the island, Swiss Coffee cabinets above, matte black pulls, Golden Oak underfoot.
Mid tone: LRV 32 and L* 63, measured from its own picture, with a golden undertone. At LRV 32, Golden Oak 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 Golden Oak: Acacia Haze (Sherwin-Williams SW 9132, LRV 32.2) sits within a point of its LRV of 32, so wall and floor would blur into one. Wood that almost matches Golden Oak: a tone like our Silvered Gray sample, 2.3 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.
At LRV 32, Golden Oak 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 inches a board, Golden Oak lays about 21 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.

What only this floor's data can say.
One of our most-asked-for floors: estimated 12 times since 2023.
Golden Oak is lighter than 65 percent of the 1,197 vinyl floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 75 percent of them.
The same look in real wood: Linden Court, Anderson Tuftex Grand Estate, only 0.4 apart in color (CIEDE2000).
To get this color on an oak floor you already have, the nearest of our stains is Silvered Gray (2.3 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.

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.
