Read from its own picture, not from a name.
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.
The grain and color of Spirit Oak move from board to board (a spread of 3.0 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.

The near misses, by the numbers.
About Spirit Oak and color, answered from the numbers above.
White Dove (Benjamin Moore OC-17, LRV 83.2): a warm white or greige in the same soft family as Spirit Oak (hue 105° against its 75°). It sits 35 LRV points from the floor (LRV 49), 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): 33 points over Spirit Oak in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.7) to read white, not blue, beside its greige undertone.
Still Water (Sherwin-Williams SW 6223, LRV 10.1): deep and quiet, 38 points darker than Spirit Oak in LRV, a frame for a greige floor. Lower cabinets or an island in Still Water, uppers and trim in Swiss Coffee. The floor at LRV 49 sits between the two (10 and 82).
Contrast, not a match: a step darker: a honey tone (like our Rustic Beige stain sample), or a step lighter: black or painted pieces. A wood like our Country White sample is only 7.0 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss.
Living room: White Dove walls and Swiss Coffee trim, a graphite rug in a flat weave on Spirit Oak, slate blue pillows, black or painted side tables. Kitchen: Swiss Coffee cabinets with an island in Still Water, polished nickel hardware, Spirit Oak underfoot.
Light: LRV 49 and L* 75, measured from its own picture, with a soft greige undertone. At LRV 49, Spirit Oak 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 Spirit Oak: Coventry Gray (Benjamin Moore HC-169, LRV 48.2) sits within a point of its LRV of 49, so wall and floor would blur into one. Wood that almost matches Spirit Oak: a tone like our Country White sample, 7.0 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.
At LRV 49, Spirit Oak 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, Spirit Oak lays about 21 boards across a 12 foot room, so the room reads open with few seams.
Spirit Oak 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 2 times since 2025.
Spirit Oak is lighter than 91 percent of the 1,204 vinyl floors we carry, measured the same way, and warmer than 16 percent of them.
The same look in real wood: Marble, Mullican Wexford™ 5", only 1.7 apart in color (CIEDE2000).
To get this color on an oak floor you already have, the nearest of our stains is Country White (7.0 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.
