Ambient Sand is cooler than its name suggests. Rather than a warm golden sand it is a pale grey-beige with a faint pink-taupe undertone, a light greige that reads calm and slightly chalky in most light. Within the Natura range...

Despite the warmth its name implies, Ambient Sand reads cool underfoot. The swatch is a pale oyster greige: a soft, washed grey-beige with almost no golden tone in it at all, and a faint chalky lime sitting in the open...

Belfort Oak is a light warm greige, a soft biscuit-tan with a thin grey wash sitting over the top that keeps it from turning golden. It is gentler and less saturated than French Natural, and warmer and more brown than...

Canyon suggests warm desert red, so the actual colour is a surprise: Canyon Oak is a mid dusty mauve-brown, a greyed taupe with white limed grain lifting through it and no red or orange in the body at all. It...

Danish White is a pale creamy oatmeal blonde rather than a true white. The undertone is warm, closer to unfinished raw oak or bleached driftwood than to a whitewashed or limed board, and the natural knots and grain stay clearly...

Danish White is not a white floor, and it is worth knowing that before you order. The swatch shows a light-to-mid warm beige oak with clearly visible grain, occasional darker mineral streaking and a soft whitened wash sitting over the...

Fiano Brown is the richest, warmest dark decor in the Swish Oak Natura range. The body is a deep tobacco-chocolate brown with golden and faintly red highlights lifting through the grain, glossier and more saturated than anything else in the...

Fiano Brown is the warm mid-brown of the Natura Herringbone range, and the swatch backs the name up. It is a rich caramel-to-tobacco brown with strongly contrasting grain, darker knots and distinct amber lights running through the lighter boards. Set...

French Carbon is the darkest decor in the Natura range and the coolest of the dark options. It is a deep charcoal grey with a brown undertone carried through the grain, approaching near-black on the darker boards while staying recognisably...

Nothing else in this range goes as dark as French Carbon. The swatch is a smoky charcoal grey-brown that reads close to black in the shaded blocks and lifts to a deep gunmetal where the grain catches light, with a...

French Ghost is not the pale, almost-white floor the name suggests. The swatch is a mid greyed mushroom-taupe with a definite brown undertone, several shades deeper than any of the light decors in this range and closer to a warm...

French Ghost leans warmer than its name suggests. Rather than the bleached, ghostly white you might picture, the swatch is a light taupe-tan with a soft grey-brown wash over it, gentle board-to-board variation and the occasional small dark knot. It...

French Natural is the straightforward golden oak of the Natura range, a warm honey-amber with the grain left clear and open so the timber reads as timber. It is more saturated and more obviously golden than Belfort Oak, and lighter...

Golden, amber and unmistakably oak, French Natural is the most traditional colour in the herringbone range. The swatch shows a warm honey tone with strong natural figure, cathedral grain running through the wider blocks and a handful of sound knots...

Nordic Limed is a very pale soft grey-white with a faint warm beige running underneath, the classic limed oak look where white pigment sits in the grain and lifts the whole board. It is the second lightest decor in the...

Nordic Spring is the palest and coolest decor in the Swish Oak Natura range, a very light white-grey with a faint blue cast that keeps it firmly on the cool side of neutral. The grain is soft and low in...

Oak Dove Grey is the clearest case in this range of a name that will send you the wrong way. Dove grey suggests a soft pale grey; the actual swatch is a warm greyed tan, a light tobacco oak with...

Oak Grey Harmony is what most people actually mean when they ask for a grey timber floor, and unlike several of its neighbours the name is accurate. It is an even mid neutral grey, neither blue nor mauve nor brown,...

Odense Grey is lighter than a true grey and warmer than you might expect: a light cool greige with a definite pink-lilac undertone and white limed grain running through it, closer to weathered stone than to charcoal. Within the Natura...

Oyster usually implies something pale, so it is worth flagging that Oyster Grey is one of the deeper decors in the Natura range. The swatch is a mid-to-dark warm mushroom grey with pronounced wire-brushed grain and strong figure, the darkest...

Raw Caramel is a properly saturated warm golden-brown, deeper and more tobacco-toned than French Natural and a good deal warmer and richer than Belfort Oak. The grain is smooth and clearly drawn rather than heavily brushed, and the colour holds...

Raw Leaf is the most unusual colour in the Swish Oak Natura range and the one that justifies its name. It is a pale greenish-khaki beige, an oatmeal body with a soft olive cast that becomes obvious the moment you...
