Floria is the palest board in the Swish Bespoke range and nothing like the honeyed oak the name suggests - the swatch is a soft whitewashed grey with a faint mauve-taupe cast and grain that reads as fine texture rather...

Fawn is not the soft light tan its name suggests. On the swatch it is a mid-to-dark greyed brown - a cool, smoky walnut tone with restrained grain and very little warmth in it - and it is one of...

Eggshell is the decor in the Swish Bespoke range where the name does the most damage, because there is no off-white in it. The swatch is a warm honey oak - a mid-light golden tan with soft natural grain and...

Select Spotted Gum brings the most depth and the most colour movement of the warm boards in Herringbone 7.0: a rich mid-brown running from reddish caramel to a darker cocoa, with the banded character of Australian spotted gum carried into...

Natural Blackbutt lands in the warm middle of Herringbone 7.0: a mid golden-khaki with an olive undertone and a fairly even grain that stays consistent from block to block. Oak Sofia is its nearest neighbour in the range and runs...

In herringbone, Oak Saffron shows a warmer, more apricot face than you might expect from the name: a light-to-mid tan blonde with a peachy warmth and soft flowing grain running through each block. It is clearly deeper and warmer than...

Oak Sofia in the herringbone format is a mid olive-gold, warmer and greener than the cool greige board of the same name in the wider Eco Flooring hybrid line-up, so judge it on this range's sample rather than on the...

Fresco Oak is the dramatic end of Herringbone 7.0: a smoky charcoal grey-brown, deep and slightly weathered, with fine darker grain moving through it. Nothing else in the range is close. Select Spotted Gum, the next deepest, is a warm...

The name sets up a dark, rich walnut; the board is something quite different and, for many rooms, more useful: a light-to-mid mushroom brown with strong pale cathedral grain limed over a soft greige-brown ground. It is noticeably lighter than...

Of everything in XXL 8.0, Spotted Gum is the board that most clearly reads as Australian hardwood: a warm mid-brown running from golden caramel through to a deeper olive-brown, with genuine banding from one plank to the next. It is...

Clear Water Beach is the lightest option in Herringbone 7.0: a soft sand-washed oak with a faint pink-beige warmth running under the pale surface, so it reads bright without the coldness of a grey whitewash. Oak Saffron is clearly deeper...

Oak Titanium is the board most likely to surprise you in person. The name suggests cool metal grey; the board is actually a warm light blonde-wheat with soft golden variation and a gently limed surface. If you are after grey,...

Set your expectations from the board rather than the name: Pearl Grey is not a pale pearl but a mid grey with a clear green-olive undertone and strong plank-to-plank variation, some boards distinctly darker than others. It is considerably deeper...

Seashell White is the coastal board of the range: a very pale whitewashed oak with cool grey-green flecking and enough plank-to-plank variation to keep it from looking flat. Cotton Oak is paler still and far more uniform; Oak Sofia is...

Royal Oak is cooler and more contemporary than its name implies: a mid-depth smoky grey with a faint brown undertone and a fine, fairly uniform grain, closer to weathered timber than to a traditional stained oak. It is clearly darker...

Oak Sofia reads as weathered rather than new: a light-to-mid cool greige with real plank-to-plank variation, some boards noticeably paler and some drifting towards driftwood grey. Oak Atlanta is warmer and far more uniform; Cotton Oak is much paler and...

There is nothing subtle about Ebony, and that is the point: a near-black deep brown with fine darker grain, the strongest statement in XXL 8.0 by a wide margin. Royal Oak, the next darkest, is a cool grey by comparison...

Warm without being loud, Oak Saffron is a light-to-mid tan oak with a soft caramel cast and gentle, even variation across the plank. It is deeper and more golden-brown than Oak Titanium and calmer and less knotty than Coastal Blackbutt....
