Read from its own picture, not from a name.
An amber undertone, warm and a little orange. 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.
Roswell Hickory has a gentle movement from board to board (a spread of 2.4 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.
Named colors with the maker's code and LRV, each linked to its page.
Its undertone leans green (hue 125°), which quiets the orange in Roswell Hickory (hue 66°) instead of echoing it.

See it at Sherwin-Williams38 points over Roswell Hickory in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.7) to read white, not blue, beside its amber undertone.
See it at Benjamin MooreDeep and cool, about 142° around the color wheel from Roswell Hickory and 34 points darker in LRV, so each makes the other look richer.

The near misses, by the numbers.
About Roswell Hickory and color, answered from the numbers above.
Chantilly Lace (Benjamin Moore OC-65, LRV 90): its undertone leans green (hue 125°), which quiets the orange in Roswell Hickory (hue 66°) instead of echoing it. It sits 46 LRV points from the floor (LRV 44), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart. Or Dover White (Sherwin-Williams SW 6385, LRV 82.5).
Swiss Coffee (Benjamin Moore OC-45, LRV 81.9): 38 points over Roswell Hickory in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.7) to read white, not blue, beside its amber undertone.
Still Water (Sherwin-Williams SW 6223, LRV 10.1): deep and cool, about 142° around the color wheel from Roswell Hickory and 34 points darker in LRV, so each makes the other look richer. Lower cabinets or an island in Still Water, uppers and trim in Swiss Coffee. The floor at LRV 44 sits between the two (10 and 82).
Contrast, not a match: a step darker: a honey tone (like our Fruitwood stain sample), or a step lighter: black or painted pieces. A wood like our Country White sample is only 1.8 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss.
Living room: Chantilly Lace walls and Swiss Coffee trim, a mocha rug in a flat weave on Roswell Hickory, storm blue pillows, black or painted side tables. Kitchen: Swiss Coffee cabinets with an island in Still Water, polished nickel hardware, Roswell Hickory underfoot.
Light: LRV 44 and L* 73, measured from its own picture, with an amber undertone. At LRV 44, Roswell Hickory is 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 Roswell Hickory: Saybrook Sage (Benjamin Moore HC-114, LRV 45.5) sits within a point of its LRV of 44, so wall and floor would blur into one. Wood that almost matches Roswell Hickory: a tone like our Country White sample, 1.8 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.
At LRV 44, Roswell Hickory is light: it bounces light back into the room, suits north facing rooms, basements and small rooms, and shows dark grit more than lint.
At 7 inches a board, Roswell Hickory lays about 21 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.
Roswell Hickory 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 since 2022.
Roswell Hickory is lighter than 87 percent of the 1,197 vinyl floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 52 percent of them.
The same look in real wood: Macaroon, Anderson Tuftex Confection, only 0.5 apart in color (CIEDE2000).
To get this color on an oak floor you already have, the nearest of our stains is Country White (1.8 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.
