When using the eye-dropper, it's often good to, at least slightly, blur 
the image.
Another thing to do is to zoom in by a large value. Here, zooming by 10x 
or more can realy help.

You can always add a "varnish" to your floor by adding a layered texture 
with a fully filtering yellow/golden hue. That top layer can also be 
used to controll the reflection and highlights.
