The floor, measured

Read from its own picture, not from a name.

LRV: 32
Lightness L*: 64
Undertone: Greige
Hue: 87°

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.

The grain and color of Oxnard move from board to board (a spread of 3.4 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.

Wood, rugs and metals

Contrast, not a match.

Wood furniture

A step darker: a mid brown woodAbout 20 points darker than Oxnard in L* (43 against 64), far enough to read as a choice. Like our Nutmeg stain sample.

A step lighter: black or painted piecesOxnard is lighter than any wood stain we photographed (L* 64), so contrast comes from black, painted or upholstered pieces.

Rugs and fabric

Tone on tone: charcoal4 in chroma, half the warmth of Oxnard (10), and 34 points darker in L*.

Across the wheel: storm blueHue 267°, straight across the color wheel from the 87° of Oxnard, softened to balance it.

Grounding: graphiteA deep note at L* 34, 30 points from the 64 of Oxnard, so a rug keeps its edge.

Metals

Matte blackBlack works with every undertone; beside Oxnard at LRV 32 it gives the room its outline.

Champagne bronzeA warm metal that agrees with the greige undertone of Oxnard (hue 87°).

Brushed nickelA soft satin nickel, quieter than chrome, for the greige of Oxnard.

What to avoid

The near misses, by the numbers.

Walls at the lightness of Oxnard: Acacia Haze (Sherwin-Williams SW 9132, LRV 32.2) sits within a point of its LRV of 32, so wall and floor would blur into one.
Stark blue whites everywhere: a greige floor like Oxnard 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 32, Oxnard is a mid tone: it holds its color in a sunny room and hides everyday dust and pet hair better than a very dark or very light floor.

At 7.5 inches a board, Oxnard lays about 20 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.

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.

Janka hardness from the USDA Forest Products Laboratory Wood Handbook (2021), Table 5-3b, at 12 percent moisture.

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.
