We had the most difficult time finding lighter hardwood colors for red oak floors. I searched all over and got some good ideas from Pinterest. We wanted something lighter but didn’t like the way some grays made the floors look with more pink hues or with alot of variations. We ended up making our own and love the color. Duraseal 1/2 special walnut and 1/2 classic grey. Its a light mid tone color that made the floors more consistent with less variation.
