The floor, measured

Read from its own picture, not from a name.

LRV: 18
Lightness L*: 50
Undertone: Golden
Hue: 70°

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.

The grain and color of Olive Tree move from board to board (a spread of 3.0 in L*), which helps hide everyday wear.

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

Upward Sherwin-Williams SW 6239 · LRV 57.4 · +39 from the floor

Wood, rugs and metals

Contrast, not a match.

Wood furniture

A step darker: a charcoal woodAbout 21 points darker than Olive Tree in L* (29 against 50), far enough to read as a choice. Like our Ebony stain sample.

A step lighter: a pale, bleached woodAbout 17 points lighter than Olive Tree in L* (67 against 50). Like our Natural stain sample.

Rugs and fabric

Tone on tone: putty11 in chroma, half the warmth of Olive Tree (23), and 28 points lighter in L*.

Across the wheel: mist blueHue 250°, straight across the color wheel from the 70° of Olive Tree, softened to balance it.

Grounding: espressoA deep note at L* 20, 30 points from the 50 of Olive Tree, so a rug keeps its edge.

Metals

Matte blackBlack works with every undertone; beside Olive Tree at LRV 18 it gives the room its outline.

Aged brassA warm metal that agrees with the golden undertone of Olive Tree (hue 70°).

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

What to avoid

The near misses, by the numbers.

Walls at the lightness of Olive Tree: Gauntlet Gray (Sherwin-Williams SW 7019, LRV 17.4) sits within a point of its LRV of 18, so wall and floor would blur into one.
Wood that almost matches Olive Tree: a tone like our Fruitwood sample, 3.4 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Walls that lean yellow: yellow on yellow flattens the golden undertone of Olive Tree (hue 70°).

The room it suits

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

At LRV 18, Olive Tree 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 7 inches a board, Olive Tree lays about 21 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.

Olive Tree 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.
