Read from its own picture, not from a name.
A greige: soft gray with a little 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.
Opal is calm and even from board to board (a spread of 1.5 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.
Named colors with the maker's code and LRV, each linked to its page.
A warm white or greige in the same soft family as Opal (hue 110° against its 81°).
See it at Benjamin Moore25 points over Opal in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.7) to read white, not blue, beside its greige undertone.
See it at Benjamin MooreDeep and quiet, 39 points darker than Opal in LRV, a frame for a greige floor.
See it at Sherwin-WilliamsLower cabinets or an island in Gauntlet Gray, uppers and trim in Swiss Coffee. The floor at LRV 57 sits between the two (17 and 82).

The near misses, by the numbers.
About Opal and color, answered from the numbers above.
Simply White (Benjamin Moore OC-117, LRV 89.5): a warm white or greige in the same soft family as Opal (hue 110° against its 81°). It sits 33 LRV points from the floor (LRV 57), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart.
Swiss Coffee (Benjamin Moore OC-45, LRV 81.9): 25 points over Opal in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.7) to read white, not blue, beside its greige undertone.
Gauntlet Gray (Sherwin-Williams SW 7019, LRV 17.4): deep and quiet, 39 points darker than Opal in LRV, a frame for a greige floor. Lower cabinets or an island in Gauntlet Gray, uppers and trim in Swiss Coffee. The floor at LRV 57 sits between the two (17 and 82).
Contrast, not a match: a step darker: a light natural wood (like our Silvered Gray stain sample), or a step lighter: black or painted pieces.
Living room: Simply White walls and Swiss Coffee trim, black or painted a low table on Opal, a pewter rug, one slate blue cushion. Kitchen: Swiss Coffee cabinets, Gauntlet Gray on the island or one wall, matte black pulls, Opal underfoot.
Very light: LRV 57 and L* 80, measured from its own picture, with a soft greige undertone. At LRV 57, Opal is very light: it bounces light back into the room, suits north facing rooms, basements and small rooms, and shows dark grit more than lint.
Walls at the lightness of Opal: Worldly Gray (Sherwin-Williams SW 7043, LRV 57.2) sits within a point of its LRV of 57, so wall and floor would blur into one. Stark blue whites everywhere: a greige floor like Opal turns muddy beside them. Keep the whites a little warm.
Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.
At LRV 57, Opal is very light: it bounces light back into the room, suits north facing rooms, basements and small rooms, and shows dark grit more than lint.
At 9 inches a board, Opal lays about 16 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.
Opal is waterproof, so it belongs in kitchens, baths, mudrooms and basements as well as living spaces.
What only this floor's data can say.
One of our most-asked-for floors: estimated 4 times, chosen 4 times since 2026.
Opal is lighter than 96 percent of the 1,198 vinyl floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 14 percent of them.
The same look in real wood: Waterfront, Anderson Tuftex Coast To Coast, only 1.0 apart in color (CIEDE2000).
To get this color on an oak floor you already have, the nearest of our stains is Country White (9.4 apart, CIEDE2000, from our own photographs on red oak).

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.

Price codes
A price code is a color, violet through red, that places a floor among others of its kind by its price supplied and installed. Violet is the most affordable, red the top of the range.
Luxury vinyl
Prefinished hardwood
It makes floors quick to compare here and to match to their samples in the showroom. The price of your job is the one on your written, line-item estimate. A floor without a code, such as laminate, is priced installed after a free measure.
