The floor finish is the reference
Judge White Heron against your actual wood finish, not a generic wood species label. The starting material direction here is cream tile and natural timber. White Heron SW-7627 carries a violet undertone and must not inherit specifications from Benjamin Moore's same-name color.
Cream tile creates a permanent warm boundary, while natural wood provides a second comparison rather than a guarantee of compatibility.
Test the dominant wood color, not one grain line
View White Heron 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.
White Heron and Origami White both have a published LRV of 76. That equality describes reflectance, not matching colorants or identical undertones.
The condition for keeping White Heron
Specify SW-7627 and test the violet influence rather than borrowing advice about the Benjamin Moore white.
Keep the White Heron 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.
