The floor, measured

Read from its own picture, not from a name.

LRV: 34
Lightness L*: 65
Undertone: Amber
Hue: 65°

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.

It 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.

Walls, trim and cabinets

Named colors with the maker's code and LRV, each linked to its page.

Walls

Simply White Benjamin Moore OC-117 · LRV 89.5 · +55 from the floor

Its undertone leans green (hue 110°), which quiets the orange in the floor instead of echoing it.

Or walls

Dover White Sherwin-Williams SW 6385 · LRV 82.5 · +48 from the floor

Its undertone leans green (hue 93°), which quiets the orange in the floor instead of echoing it.

Trim and ceilings

Alabaster Sherwin-Williams SW 7008 · LRV 82.2 · +48 from the floor

A white with a little warmth (chroma 5.3), so trim does not look blue beside a warm floor.

The deep note

Newburg Green Benjamin Moore HC-158 · LRV 10.6 · -24 from the floor

Deep and cool, about 170° around the color wheel from the floor and 24 points darker in LRV, so each makes the other look richer.

Wood, rugs and metals

Contrast, not a match.

Wood furniture

A step darker: a smoky gray brown woodAbout 20 points darker than the floor (L*), far enough to read as a choice. Like our Dark Gray stain sample.

A step lighter: black or painted piecesThe floor is lighter than any wood stain we photographed, so contrast comes from black, painted or upholstered pieces.

Rugs and fabric

Tone on tone: walnut brownThe floor's own warmth at half the strength, 34 points darker.

Across the wheel: storm blueThe opposite side of the color wheel from the floor, softened, to balance it.

Grounding: mochaA deep note 30 points from the floor, so a rug keeps its edge.

Metals

Matte blackBlack works with every undertone and gives a light room its outline.

Aged brassA warm metal that agrees with the floor's amber undertone.

Unlacquered brassA warm metal that agrees with the floor's amber undertone.

What to avoid

The near misses, by the numbers.

Walls at the floor's own lightness: Debonair (Sherwin-Williams SW 9139, LRV 33.9) sits within a point of this floor, so wall and floor would blur into one.
Wood that almost matches: a table in a tone like our Silvered Gray stain sample is only 3.6 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Pink or peach beige walls: they pull more orange out of a warm floor.

Is Springfield Oak a light or a dark floor?

Mid tone: LRV 34 and L* 65, measured from its own picture, with an amber undertone. An LRV of 34 is a mid tone: it holds its color in a sunny room and hides everyday dust and pet hair better than a very dark or very light floor.

Walls at the floor's own lightness: Debonair (Sherwin-Williams SW 9139, LRV 33.9) sits within a point of this floor, so wall and floor would blur into one. Wood that almost matches: a table in a tone like our Silvered Gray stain sample is only 3.6 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.

The room it suits

Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.

An LRV of 34 is a mid tone: it holds its color in a sunny room and hides everyday dust and pet hair better than a very dark or very light floor.

Across a 12 foot room it lays about 21 boards, so the room reads open with few seams.

Waterproof, so it belongs in kitchens, baths, mudrooms and basements as well as living spaces.

Wear layer20 milAbout 0.51 mm of clear protection over the printed wood, the part that takes the traffic.

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.
