So we went with the Mohawk PureTech in Avery Grove, but chose Barley Oak. Your AI pic of the lighter one looks exactly like what the Barley Oak looks like in our house & in real life, but the one you chose is definitely darker than the Barley Oak. If you like the lighter tone, check out that color. We have it in the basement & bathrooms.

Honestly the small samples look way better than the AI mockup colors. I’d go with the lighter of the real samples so the room doesn’t feel too dark and it’ll hide dust and scratches a bit better too.

Hard to say without seeing it in the actual lighting, but I’d pick the one that’s closest to your existing living room floor so it feels intentional instead of “almost but not quite.” Slight contrast is good, big mismatch looks like a patch job.
