The floor, measured

Read from its own picture, not from a name.

LRV: 34
Lightness L*: 65
Undertone: Golden
Hue: 75°

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.

Manila Oak has a gentle movement from board to board (a spread of 2.5 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.

The deep note

Newburg Green Benjamin Moore HC-158 · LRV 10.6 · -23 from the floor

Deep and cool, about 159° around the color wheel from Manila Oak and 23 points darker in LRV, so each makes the other look richer.

Wood, rugs and metals

Contrast, not a match.

Wood furniture

A step darker: a smoky gray brown woodAbout 19 points darker than Manila Oak in L* (45 against 65), far enough to read as a choice. Like our Dark Gray stain sample.

A step lighter: black or painted piecesManila Oak is lighter than any wood stain we photographed (L* 65), so contrast comes from black, painted or upholstered pieces.

Rugs and fabric

Tone on tone: walnut brown12 in chroma, half the warmth of Manila Oak (28), and 34 points darker in L*.

Across the wheel: storm blueHue 255°, straight across the color wheel from the 75° of Manila Oak, softened to balance it.

Grounding: mochaA deep note at L* 35, 30 points from the 65 of Manila Oak, so a rug keeps its edge.

Metals

Aged brassA warm metal that agrees with the golden undertone of Manila Oak (hue 75°).

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

Matte blackBlack works with every undertone; beside Manila Oak at LRV 34 it gives the room its outline.

What to avoid

The near misses, by the numbers.

Walls at the lightness of Manila Oak: Debonair (Sherwin-Williams SW 9139, LRV 33.9) sits within a point of its LRV of 34, so wall and floor would blur into one.
Wood that almost matches Manila Oak: a tone like our Silvered Gray sample, 5.8 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Walls that lean yellow: yellow on yellow flattens the golden undertone of Manila Oak (hue 75°).

The room it suits

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

At LRV 34, Manila 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, Manila Oak lays about 21 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.

Manila Oak is waterproof, so it belongs in kitchens, baths, mudrooms and basements as well as living spaces.

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.
