- LRV

- 78°
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.
Mystic Oak has a gentle movement from board to board (a spread of 2.1 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 lighter: a charcoal woodAbout 15 points lighter than Mystic Oak in L* (35 against 20). Like our Heritage Brown stain sample.
Rugs and fabric
Tone on tone: pewter2 in chroma, half the warmth of Mystic Oak (4), and 28 points lighter in L*.
Across the wheel: slate blueHue 258°, straight across the color wheel from the 78° of Mystic Oak, softened to balance it.
Grounding: stone grayA light note at L* 65, 45 points from the 20 of Mystic Oak, so a rug keeps its edge.
Metals
Aged brassA warm metal that agrees with the warm pieces in the room.
Polished nickelA bright nickel with a touch of warmth, for the gray undertone of Mystic Oak (chroma 3.8).
ChromeThe brightest and coolest finish, crisp against Mystic Oak at chroma 3.8.
Room by room

- Living roomOctober Mist walls and Chantilly Lace trim over Mystic Oak, velvet in pewter with a slate blue pillow, aged brass lamps on low.
- KitchenCabinets in High Reflective White so they float off Mystic Oak, Chantilly Lace walls and trim, polished nickel pulls.
- BedroomClary Sage walls, pewter bedding, nightstands in a charcoal wood, chrome on the lamps.
- EntryA stone gray runner on Mystic Oak, High Reflective White on the door, a polished nickel mirror.
What to avoid
The near misses, by the numbers.
- Walls at the lightness of Mystic Oak: Tricorn Black (Sherwin-Williams SW 6258, LRV 2.8) sits within a point of its LRV of 3, so wall and floor would blur into one.
- Wood that almost matches Mystic Oak: a tone like our True Black sample, 5.0 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
- Whites that lean yellow: beside Mystic Oak, 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.
