The floor, measured

Read from its own picture, not from a name.

LRV: 37
Lightness L*: 67
Undertone: Golden
Hue: 77°

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.

Hemphill 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.

Wood, rugs and metals

Contrast, not a match.

Wood furniture

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

A step lighter: black or painted piecesHemphill Oak 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 brown11 in chroma, half the warmth of Hemphill Oak (24), and 34 points darker in L*.

Across the wheel: storm blueHue 257°, straight across the color wheel from the 77° of Hemphill Oak, softened to balance it.

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

Metals

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

Aged brassA warm metal that agrees with the golden undertone of Hemphill Oak (hue 77°).

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

What to avoid

The near misses, by the numbers.

Walls at the lightness of Hemphill Oak: 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 Hemphill Oak: a tone like our Country White sample, 5.9 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Walls that lean yellow: yellow on yellow flattens the golden undertone of Hemphill Oak (hue 77°).

The room it suits

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

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.
