Weathered oak by minwax.
This should cover the natural pink in the red oak wood flooring and provide an even lighter color tone you are wanting.

It delivered rich dark brown tones.
If you re wanting to go slightly darker than the pickled oak or wanting stain with hints of brown and gray you should probably give weathered oak a try.
