Updating staircase - stain color to go with floors/walls?

We're updating to new oak newell posts & hand rails, paired with iron balusters. What color would you recommend staining based on the floors and other finishes pictured? Walls will be a greigey white (SW Heron Plume) throughout, and staircase is adjacent to a darker accent wall (SW Spaulding Grey - swatch on left) framing a marble tiled fireplace.


The original staircase and floors inspiration is also pictured, but turned out the floors are American Cherry so not possible to go that light. Instead we ended up with the color pictured by staining 50/50 blend of Special Walnut and Classic Grey. As you can see, applying the same blend to the Oak isn't even close. I'm not married to a perfect match, just something that coordinates.


Totally newbie so any input appreciated!
