Perfect colors - too bad it's engineered.

In case anyone is in search of a stain formula for refinishing red oak floors, here is what we went with...50% Jacobean 25% Grey 25% Weathered Oak. Picture of the results. I'm very happy with it. I wanted them to be light but felt it was more important to block out/tone down the red. I'm definitely glad I didn't stick with going lighter because I know they would have been too pink based on how pink the raw boards were after sanding. They came out a very nice neutral brown with a slight grey tone.

Group thoughts on getting gray for red oak - 50% jacobean, 25% gray, 25% weathered does a nice job keeping pink tones out while having a small amount of gray and a medium brown.
