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.
Jute is calm and even from board to board (a spread of 1.5 in L*), so it reads as one quiet plane.
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 106°), so Jute stays golden without turning yellow.

See it at Sherwin-WilliamsA light color with some life in it, so cabinets float off Jute (a 39 point step in LRV).

The near misses, by the numbers.
About Jute and color, answered from the numbers above.
Cloud White (Benjamin Moore OC-130, LRV 85.1): a soft neutral with a touch of warmth (hue 106°), so Jute stays golden without turning yellow. It sits 67 LRV points from the floor (LRV 19), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart. Or Dover White (Sherwin-Williams SW 6385, LRV 82.5).
Alabaster (Sherwin-Williams SW 7008, LRV 82.2): 64 points over Jute in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.3) to read white, not blue, beside its golden undertone.
Upward (Sherwin-Williams SW 6239, LRV 57.4): a light color with some life in it, so cabinets float off Jute (a 39 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 Ebony stain sample), or a step lighter: a pale, bleached wood (like our Natural stain sample). A wood like our Fruitwood sample is only 3.9 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss.
Living room: Cloud White walls and Alabaster trim around Jute, an oatmeal rug with an espresso border, a coffee table in a charcoal wood, aged brass lamps. Kitchen: Cabinets in Upward so they float off Jute, Alabaster walls and trim, unlacquered brass pulls.
Mid dark: LRV 19 and L* 50, measured from its own picture, with a golden undertone. At LRV 19, Jute is mid 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 Jute: Gauntlet Gray (Sherwin-Williams SW 7019, LRV 17.4) sits within a point of its LRV of 19, so wall and floor would blur into one. Wood that almost matches Jute: a tone like our Fruitwood sample, 3.9 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.
At LRV 19, Jute is mid 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 6.38 inches a board, Jute lays about 23 boards across a 12 foot room.
Engineered hardwood: living spaces and bedrooms on every level, kept out of full baths.
What only this floor's data can say.
Jute is lighter than 48 percent of the 1,744 hardwood floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 44 percent of them.
The same look in waterproof vinyl or laminate: Ember, Shaw Floors Pathways 12, only 0.7 apart in color (CIEDE2000).
To get this color on an oak floor you already have, the nearest of our stains is Fruitwood (3.9 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.
Janka hardness from the National Wood Flooring Association species guide, Technical Publication A200 (2004), its relative hardness chart.
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.
