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 Wheldon Oak move from board to board (a spread of 3.3 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 93°), so Wheldon Oak stays golden without turning yellow.

The near misses, by the numbers.
About Wheldon Oak and color, answered from the numbers above.
Dover White (Sherwin-Williams SW 6385, LRV 82.5): a soft neutral with a touch of warmth (hue 93°), so Wheldon Oak stays golden without turning yellow. It sits 52 LRV points from the floor (LRV 30), more than the 30 points that keep a wall and a floor reading apart. Or Cloud White (Benjamin Moore OC-130, LRV 85.1).
Alabaster (Sherwin-Williams SW 7008, LRV 82.2): 52 points over Wheldon Oak in LRV and warm enough (chroma 5.3) to read white, not blue, beside its golden undertone.
Van Deusen Blue (Benjamin Moore HC-156, LRV 12): deep and cool, about 172° around the color wheel from Wheldon Oak and 18 points darker in LRV, so each makes the other look richer. Lower cabinets or an island in Van Deusen Blue, uppers and trim in Alabaster. The floor at LRV 30 sits between the two (12 and 82).
Contrast, not a match: a step darker: a mid brown wood (like our Aged Barrel stain sample). A wood like our Silvered Gray sample is only 3.0 apart (CIEDE2000) and reads as a near miss.
Living room: Dover White walls and Alabaster trim around Wheldon Oak, an ivory rug with a walnut brown border, a coffee table in a mid brown wood, aged brass lamps. Kitchen: Van Deusen Blue on the island or the lower cabinets, Alabaster uppers, unlacquered brass pulls, Wheldon Oak underfoot.
Mid tone: LRV 30 and L* 62, measured from its own picture, with a golden undertone. At LRV 30, Wheldon Oak 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 lightness of Wheldon Oak: Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams SW 9130, LRV 30.4) sits within a point of its LRV of 30, so wall and floor would blur into one. Wood that almost matches Wheldon Oak: a tone like our Silvered Gray sample, 3.0 apart (CIEDE2000), reads as a near miss. Go clearly darker or lighter.
Light, size and wear, from the floor's own record.
At LRV 30, Wheldon Oak 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.
At 5 inches a board, Wheldon Oak lays about 29 boards across a 12 foot room.
Wheldon Oak is waterproof, so it belongs in kitchens, baths, mudrooms and basements as well as living spaces.

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.
