The floor, measured

Read from its own picture, not from a name.

LRV: 55
Lightness L*: 79
Undertone: Greige
Hue: 84°

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.

Silver Dollar 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.

Wood, rugs and metals

Contrast, not a match.

Wood furniture

A step darker: a light natural woodAbout 18 points darker than Silver Dollar in L* (61 against 79), far enough to read as a choice. Like our Silvered Gray stain sample.

A step lighter: black or painted piecesSilver Dollar is lighter than any wood stain we photographed (L* 79), so contrast comes from black, painted or upholstered pieces.

Rugs and fabric

Tone on tone: pewter5 in chroma, half the warmth of Silver Dollar (12), and 34 points darker in L*.

Across the wheel: slate blueHue 264°, straight across the color wheel from the 84° of Silver Dollar, softened to balance it.

Grounding: taupeA deep note at L* 49, 30 points from the 79 of Silver Dollar, so a rug keeps its edge.

Metals

Matte blackBlack works with every undertone; beside Silver Dollar at LRV 55 it gives the room its outline.

Champagne bronzeA warm metal that agrees with the greige undertone of Silver Dollar (hue 84°).

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

What to avoid

The near misses, by the numbers.

Walls at the lightness of Silver Dollar: Revere Pewter (Benjamin Moore HC-172, LRV 55.1) sits within a point of its LRV of 55, so wall and floor would blur into one.
Stark blue whites everywhere: a greige floor like Silver Dollar 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.
