The floor, measured

Read from its own picture, not from a name.

LRV: 65
Lightness L*: 85
Undertone: Gray
Hue: 107°

A near gray, with almost no 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.

Sonia Marble has a gentle movement from board to board (a spread of 2.3 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.

Wood, rugs and metals

Contrast, not a match.

Wood furniture

A step darker: a pale, bleached woodAbout 18 points darker than Sonia Marble in L* (67 against 85), far enough to read as a choice. Like our Natural stain sample.

A step lighter: black or painted piecesSonia Marble is lighter than any wood stain we photographed (L* 85), so contrast comes from black, painted or upholstered pieces.

Rugs and fabric

Tone on tone: pewter1 in chroma, half the warmth of Sonia Marble (2), and 34 points darker in L*.

Across the wheel: slate blueHue 287°, straight across the color wheel from the 107° of Sonia Marble, softened to balance it.

Grounding: smokeA deep note at L* 55, 30 points from the 85 of Sonia Marble, so a rug keeps its edge.

Metals

Polished nickelA bright nickel with a touch of warmth, for the gray undertone of Sonia Marble (chroma 2.0).

ChromeThe brightest and coolest finish, crisp against Sonia Marble at chroma 2.0.

Matte blackBlack works with every undertone; beside Sonia Marble at LRV 65 it gives the room its outline.

What to avoid

The near misses, by the numbers.

Walls at the lightness of Sonia Marble: Balboa Mist (Benjamin Moore OC-27, LRV 65.5) sits within a point of its LRV of 65, so wall and floor would blur into one.
Creamy or yellow whites: beside Sonia Marble, a near gray, they look dingy.

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.
