Read from its own picture, not from a name.
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 Shenandoah move from board to board (a spread of 3.1 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.
Named colors with the maker's code and LRV, each linked to its page.
A soft neutral with a touch of warmth (hue 89°), so Shenandoah stays golden without turning yellow.

See it at Benjamin Moore41 points over Shenandoah in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.3) to read white, not blue, beside its golden undertone.
See it at Sherwin-WilliamsDeep and quiet, 35 points darker than Shenandoah in LRV, a frame for a golden floor.
See it at Sherwin-WilliamsLower cabinets or an island in Urbane Bronze, uppers and trim in Greek Villa. The floor at LRV 43 sits between the two (8 and 84).

About Shenandoah and color, answered from the numbers above.
Creamy (Sherwin-Williams SW 7012, LRV 81.2): a soft neutral with a touch of warmth (hue 89°), so Shenandoah stays golden without turning yellow. It sits 38 LRV points from the floor (LRV 43), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart. Or Simply White (Benjamin Moore OC-117, LRV 89.5).
Greek Villa (Sherwin-Williams SW 7551, LRV 84.2): 41 points over Shenandoah in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.3) to read white, not blue, beside its golden undertone.
Urbane Bronze (Sherwin-Williams SW 7048, LRV 8.1): deep and quiet, 35 points darker than Shenandoah in LRV, a frame for a golden floor. Lower cabinets or an island in Urbane Bronze, uppers and trim in Greek Villa. The floor at LRV 43 sits between the two (8 and 84).
Contrast, not a match: a step darker: a honey tone (like our Golden Oak stain sample), or a step lighter: black or painted pieces. A wood like our Country White sample is only 5.2 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss.
Living room: Creamy walls and Greek Villa trim, a mocha rug with a graphite edge on Shenandoah, a coffee table in a honey tone. Kitchen: Urbane Bronze on the island, Greek Villa cabinets above, matte black pulls, Shenandoah underfoot.
Light: LRV 43 and L* 72, measured from its own picture, with a golden undertone. At LRV 43, Shenandoah 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 Shenandoah: Clary Sage (Sherwin-Williams SW 6178, LRV 41) sits 2 points from its LRV of 43, so wall and floor would blur into one. Wood that almost matches Shenandoah: a tone like our Country White sample, 5.2 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.
At LRV 43, Shenandoah 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 7.5 inches a board, Shenandoah lays about 20 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.
Engineered hardwood: living spaces and bedrooms on every level, kept out of full baths.
What only this floor's data can say.
One of our most-asked-for floors: estimated 2 times, chosen 2 times since 2026.
Shenandoah is lighter than 87 percent of the 1,744 hardwood floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 47 percent of them.
The same look in waterproof vinyl or laminate: Antique Pearl Oak, COREtec COREtec Originals Enhanced 9x72 CR501, only 0.8 apart in color (CIEDE2000).
To get this color on an oak floor you already have, the nearest of our stains is Country White (5.2 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.
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.

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.
