Apparently previous owners patched the red oak floors with white oak in several spots. My heart was set on light, bright, natural wood (but not white washed), but my problem is twofold now: finding a stain that doesn’t appear pink, and finding one that will blend with the random white oak planks.

The first two photos are of the floors stained with pickled oak. The third photo has some stain samples- the top two planks are red oak and the bottom two planks in each window are white oak. The last photo is of 75/25 weathered oak/Bona white (same top two planks red oak and bottom two planks white oak). This seems the least pink but also has a chalky feel to it.

Has anyone encountered this before and can give some guidance? I’m already a week delayed because of this mismatched wood debacle (project was done in phases to move furniture around) so I need to pick something ASAP.
