The floor, measured

Read from its own picture, not from a name.

LRV: 46
Lightness L*: 74
Undertone: Greige
Hue: 72°

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.

Ivory Coast Oak has a gentle movement from board to board (a spread of 2.2 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 honey toneAbout 19 points darker than Ivory Coast Oak in L* (55 against 74), far enough to read as a choice. Like our Rustic Beige stain sample.

A step lighter: black or painted piecesIvory Coast Oak is lighter than any wood stain we photographed (L* 74), so contrast comes from black, painted or upholstered pieces.

Rugs and fabric

Tone on tone: graphite5 in chroma, half the warmth of Ivory Coast Oak (10), and 34 points darker in L*.

Across the wheel: slate blueHue 252°, straight across the color wheel from the 72° of Ivory Coast Oak, softened to balance it.

Grounding: mochaA deep note at L* 44, 30 points from the 74 of Ivory Coast Oak, so a rug keeps its edge.

Metals

Polished nickelA bright nickel with a touch of warmth, for the greige undertone of Ivory Coast Oak (chroma 10.4).

Champagne bronzeA warm metal that agrees with the greige undertone of Ivory Coast Oak (hue 72°).

Brushed nickelA soft satin nickel, quieter than chrome, for the greige of Ivory Coast Oak.

What to avoid

The near misses, by the numbers.

Walls at the lightness of Ivory Coast Oak: October Mist (Benjamin Moore 1495, LRV 46.5) sits within a point of its LRV of 46, so wall and floor would blur into one.
Wood that almost matches Ivory Coast Oak: a tone like our Country White sample, 4.1 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Stark blue whites everywhere: a greige floor like Ivory Coast Oak turns muddy beside them. Keep the whites a little warm.

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.
