My wife and I just had a new oak floor installed in our house. My wife is upset because a few of the boards have a greenish cast and don't match the rest of the floor very well.

Is this standard practice? Are there any guidelines for floor uniformity or coloration?

Thanks!

was the oak floor #1 common or select grade? stained or natural color.
#1 common has more variations of color than select. replacing boards loses the locking of the tounge and groove. if that is done ask them to use urthane tube glue or as a 2nd choice subfloor tube glue. yellow glue not the best
