The stain on those Oak floors looks custom. Close to Special Walnut.

Are the floors red or white oak?

Is the minwax special walnut cut in half here or anything? I love this floor color and also used white oak flooring in my home but tested the special walnut stain and it looks much darker than this photo on my floors!

Not that I'm aware of. It could be a difference in lighting. This is pretty true to how the stain looks when I've used it on white oak. If you're in the process of choosing a stain, you can definitely try a mix. Maybe 50 or 75 percent special walnut with a lighter color. We don't typically do that on spec homes (where the builder is my client) which this was, but I almost always do when I'm working with the home owner.
