If none of our standard finishes is quite right, we can develop a color for your project. Start with the sample panels in our showroom; a color sample is run for approval after commitment to an order over 1,000 square feet.

Bring a reference
A paint chip, fabric, photo, an existing floor — or start from one of our finishes like Bourbon, Saddle or Mackinaw.

Choose species and texture
Color reads differently on white oak, red oak, hickory or maple, and on smooth versus wire brushed boards. We help you pick the base.

Review showroom panels
Compare existing color panels at our Livonia showroom before committing to your floor.

Approve your color
After you commit to an order over 1,000 square feet, we run a color sample for your approval before the full production run.

Finish to match
Your flooring is finished to the approved sample, then installed — we recommend our installation partner, 1 Wood Floors.
Tips for choosing a color
- Compare showroom panels in person — lighting changes how color appears.
- Lower sheens and wire brushing hide dust and scratches better than high gloss.
- Very light and very dark colors show more everyday wear than mid-tones.
Designers can start a custom color program from the Designers & Architects page. Homeowners can ask about showroom panels or book a consultation.
