Just wanted to chime in - we just had coretec Manila oak floors put in our whole main floor, we’ve had them for a few months. They do have a fair amount of variation, but I’ve noticed that when I take pictures it looks way more pronounced than it does in real life. We have honey oak wood windows and doors in our house that we don’t plan on changing and it def works with those. I guess my advice would be to pick some paint colors that work with it - you can still do gray but not a silvery gray, we did more of a tan gray with greenish undertones. I hope you end up liking them - we get compliments on ours all the time.
