The floor, measured

Read from its own picture, not from a name.

LRV: 27
Lightness L*: 59
Undertone: Golden
Hue: 73°

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.

Jerome Oak has a gentle movement from board to board (a spread of 2.4 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.

What to avoid

The near misses, by the numbers.

Walls at the lightness of Jerome Oak: Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams SW 9130, LRV 30.4) sits 3 points from its LRV of 27, so wall and floor would blur into one.
Wood that almost matches Jerome Oak: a tone like our Silvered Gray sample, 2.9 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Walls that lean yellow: yellow on yellow flattens the golden undertone of Jerome Oak (hue 73°).

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.
