The floor, measured

Read from its own picture, not from a name.

LRV: 51
Lightness L*: 77
Undertone: Greige
Hue: 77°

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.

Quincy Oak has a gentle movement from board to board (a spread of 1.9 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.

A step lighter: black or painted piecesQuincy Oak is lighter than any wood stain we photographed (L* 77), so contrast comes from black, painted or upholstered pieces.

Rugs and fabric

Tone on tone: graphite3 in chroma, half the warmth of Quincy Oak (6), and 34 points darker in L*.

Across the wheel: slate blueHue 257°, straight across the color wheel from the 77° of Quincy Oak, softened to balance it.

Grounding: pewterA deep note at L* 47, 30 points from the 77 of Quincy Oak, so a rug keeps its edge.

What to avoid

The near misses, by the numbers.

Walls at the lightness of Quincy Oak: Colonnade Gray (Sherwin-Williams SW 7641, LRV 53) sits 2 points from its LRV of 51, so wall and floor would blur into one.
Stark blue whites everywhere: a greige floor like Quincy Oak turns muddy beside them. Keep the whites a little warm.

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.
