The floor, measured
Read from its own picture, not from a name.
- LRV
- 51
- Lightness L*
- 76
- Undertone
- Gray
- Hue
- 110°
A near gray, with almost no 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.
Mari Travertine is calm and even from board to board (a spread of 1.4 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.

Wood, rugs and metals
Contrast, not a match.
Wood furniture
A step darker: a light natural woodAbout 21 points darker than Mari Travertine in L* (56 against 76), far enough to read as a choice. Like our Neutral stain sample.
A step lighter: black or painted piecesMari Travertine is lighter than any wood stain we photographed (L* 76), so contrast comes from black, painted or upholstered pieces.
Rugs and fabric
Tone on tone: graphite1 in chroma, half the warmth of Mari Travertine (3), and 34 points darker in L*.
Across the wheel: slate blueHue 290°, straight across the color wheel from the 110° of Mari Travertine, softened to balance it.
Grounding: pewterA deep note at L* 46, 30 points from the 76 of Mari Travertine, so a rug keeps its edge.
Metals
Polished nickelA bright nickel with a touch of warmth, for the gray undertone of Mari Travertine (chroma 2.5).
ChromeThe brightest and coolest finish, crisp against Mari Travertine at chroma 2.5.
Matte blackBlack works with every undertone; beside Mari Travertine at LRV 51 it gives the room its outline.
Room by room

What to avoid
The near misses, by the numbers.
- Walls at the lightness of Mari Travertine: Coventry Gray (Benjamin Moore HC-169, LRV 48.2) sits 2 points from its LRV of 51, so wall and floor would blur into one.
- Whites that lean yellow: beside Mari Travertine, a near gray, they look dingy.

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.
