Can anyone recommend a finish for pine floorboards, please?

I know pine tends to go orange with age so is there a way to avoid it?

I'm after a mid-sheen with slightly darker look than unfinished pine.

Thanks.

The only good finish is a clear varnish. Some stain can be orangey. Any
colour in the finish shows up badly where it chips - and it will on pine
flooring.

Whatever colour you want you can't have in the sense that pine changes
over years from white to brown. Once it browns it only looks good if
it's unstained, otherwise it's dark & characterless.

I stained ordinary white wood skirting- which I suppose many would call
pine - to match real oak flooring. Then varnished it. Still looks good
some years down the line.
