The floor finish is the reference
Judge Smoky Blue against your actual wood finish, not a generic wood species label. The starting material direction here is cognac leather and white trim. Smoky Blue's low LRV gives its gray-softened blue architectural weight rather than a pale wash effect.
Cognac leather provides a warm colored counterpoint; extra blue accessories are optional because the wall already carries a strong direction.
Test the dominant wood color, not one grain line
Check the outline between Smoky Blue and the darkest part of the floor or wood furniture. Deep paint and dark timber may lose separation in evening light. Decide whether that continuous dark effect is intended, or whether a lighter painted boundary would give the room clearer structure.
Smoky Blue and Slate Tile both have a published LRV of 15. That equality describes reflectance, not matching colorants or identical undertones.
The condition for keeping Smoky Blue
Look at the sample from the entry as well as close up; a deep wall is judged across the room.
Keep the Smoky Blue board vertical at the floor edge. A match to one pale grain line can misrepresent the dominant color across the installed floor. Judge the broad timber background from standing height. If the floor will be refinished, repeat the comparison with the approved new stain sample before ordering the wall paint. The coordinating color options covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
