A warm greige: gray with a little brown in it. 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.

Noli has a gentle movement from board to board (a spread of 1.9 in L*): calm, but not flat.

Light reflectance of the floor and its paintsOn a scale from 0 (black) to 100 (white), the floor sits at 2. Walls at 57. Trim at 82. Cabinets at 75. The shaded band is within 30 points of the floor, where a wall would blur into it.0255075100Floor 2Walls 57Cabinets 75Trim 82

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.

Cabinets
Topsail Sherwin-Williams SW 6217 · LRV 74.9 · +73 from the floor

A light color with some life in it, so cabinets float off Noli (a 73 point step in LRV).

Wood, rugs and metals

Contrast, not a match.

Wood furniture

A step lighter: a dark walnut toneAbout 17 points lighter than Noli in L* (30 against 13). Like our Red Mahogany stain sample.

Rugs and fabric

Tone on tone: graphite3 in chroma, half the warmth of Noli (6), and 28 points lighter in L*.
Across the wheel: storm blueHue 218°, straight across the color wheel from the 38° of Noli, softened to balance it.
Grounding: smokeA light note at L* 58, 45 points from the 13 of Noli, so a rug keeps its edge.

Metals

Aged brassA warm metal that agrees with the greige undertone of Noli (hue 38°).
Champagne bronzeA paler warm metal, quieter than brass beside Worldly Gray and Alabaster.
Brushed nickelA soft satin nickel, quieter than chrome, for the greige of Noli.

Questions

About Noli and color, answered from the numbers above.

What wall color goes with Noli flooring?

Worldly Gray (Sherwin-Williams SW 7043, LRV 57.2): a warm white or greige in the same soft family as Noli (hue 82° against its 38°). It sits 56 LRV points from the floor (LRV 2), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart. Or Thunder (Benjamin Moore AF-685, LRV 47.6).

What trim and ceiling color goes with Noli?

Alabaster (Sherwin-Williams SW 7008, LRV 82.2): 81 points over Noli in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.3) to read white, not blue, beside its greige undertone.

What cabinet color goes with Noli?

Topsail (Sherwin-Williams SW 6217, LRV 74.9): a light color with some life in it, so cabinets float off Noli (a 73 point step in LRV). Cabinets in Topsail or Alabaster: a dark floor needs light cabinets to float above it.

What wood furniture goes with Noli?

Contrast, not a match: a step lighter: a dark walnut tone (like our Red Mahogany stain sample).

How do I put a room together around Noli?

Living room: Worldly Gray walls and Alabaster trim over Noli, velvet in graphite with a storm blue pillow, aged brass lamps on low. Kitchen: Cabinets in Topsail so they float off Noli, Alabaster walls and trim, champagne bronze pulls.

Is Noli a light or a dark floor?

Very dark: LRV 2 and L* 13, measured from its own picture, with a warm greige undertone. At LRV 2, Noli is very 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.

What colors should I avoid with Noli?

Walls at the lightness of Noli: Tricorn Black (Sherwin-Williams SW 6258, LRV 2.8) sits within a point of its LRV of 2, so wall and floor would blur into one. Stark blue whites everywhere: a greige floor like Noli turns muddy beside them. Keep the whites a little warm.

The room it suits

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

At LRV 2, Noli is very 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 7 inches a board, Noli lays about 21 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.

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

From the floor's own record

What only this floor's data can say.

One of our most-asked-for floors: estimated 4 times since 2021.

Noli is lighter than 0 percent of the 1,204 vinyl floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 11 percent of them.

A step lighter in the same line: SarzanaLRV 10, measured the same way, against 2 for Noli.

The same look in real wood: Bridle, Mullican Hillshire 3" Red Oak, only 3.3 apart in color (CIEDE2000).

To get this color on an oak floor you already have, the nearest of our stains is True Black (8.0 apart, CIEDE2000, from our own photographs on red oak).

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.
