The floor finish is the reference
Judge Blank Canvas against your actual wood finish, not a generic wood species label. The starting material direction here is cream cabinetry and pale oak. Blank Canvas and Swiss Coffee 12 have nearly identical published screen values and equal LRV, limiting what a digital comparison can establish.
A physical difference beside cream cabinetry is more useful than inventing a dramatic undertone story from a one-step RGB difference.
Test the dominant wood color, not one grain line
View Blank Canvas vertically where it meets the installed timber. The floor can make a light white look warmer by comparison, but that does not establish a universal undertone. Include the existing trim so the wall is approved between both fixed neighbors rather than against wood alone.
Blank Canvas and Swiss Coffee both have a published LRV of 84. That equality describes reflectance, not matching colorants or identical undertones.
The condition for keeping Blank Canvas
Do not turn a tiny screen difference into a strong undertone claim; order both authentic samples if the choice is close.
Keep the Blank Canvas 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.
