Wood Tones Are Light: White Oak and Beech

A wood type that complements cream colors. The color is a very light warm brown: white oak, beech, or light ash, with a brightness only two or three shades darker than cream, and a similar yellowish hue. The surface is matte hard wax oil, and the wood grain is fine, straight, and quiet. Only this one wood color is used throughout the house, appearing on floors, some cabinets, and furniture. It serves as the mid-tone in the space. Avoid: using dark wood and walnut, using reddish or grayish wood colors, using more than one wood color simultaneously, applying glossy paint that makes the wood reflective.

一種與奶油色相配的木。顏色是很淺的暖褐:白橡、櫸木或淺色梣木,明度只比奶油色深兩三階,色相同樣偏黃;表面是霧面的硬蠟油,木紋細直而安靜。全屋只用這一個木色,出現在地板、部分櫃體與家具上。它是空間裡的中間調。避免:使用深色木與胡桃木、使用帶紅與帶灰的木色、同時使用兩種以上的木色、上亮面漆讓木頭反光。
