Can you post pics or links of the floors you have in mind? I think something a little darker than your counter would be nice.

I like this one:

Sierra

Or this:
Corsica

Or this:
Milano Brown

And I think this would look nice but dark flooring can sometimes show a lot of dirt; I have charcoal/black tile in the main bathroom and every water spot shows up.

Chocolate

Maybe I am imagining it, but I remember reading a lot of negative comments from consumers on the Home Depot TrafficMaster Allure floors in the last few weeks. Do some research on this on HOUZZ and other sites not affiliated with Home Depot. I know it isn't a big investment, but would bite to have to do your floors again in a couple of years.

That said, I love the look of grey floors, and I think they would look cool with your countertops. I heard to match floors to counters. Not sure if it is the right thing to do, but it makes sense to me.

Thank you for that info. I will definitely look into that. This is my first time so I will take all the advice I can get.

I looked into the flooring and it has some very good reviews. There were some issues in 2008 when it was first introduced. If anyone else has more information I would love to hear it.

I would stick with a medium color like you have now.....very dark or very light show every speck.

What about this Gray?

That was supposed To come up Gray maple not Hamilton oak

I would look for a slate/grey color.

what about this one?

of the colors in that group, I think I would get samples of the brown maple or the northern hickory gray... don't think the gray maple would look the best in your kitchen...

of the last group you show, I would bring home samples of adeline oak, brushed oak taupe, khaki oak, chandler cork dark, and pacific pine...

I agree with PP...grey is trendy right now but it doesn't seem to fit in w/the other colors of your kitchen. I like the idea of resilient vinyl planks though.

This one -- Cross Hewn Oak -- might be nice:

This has cooler undertones so would be closer to grey -- Iron Wood:

I also like Pacific Pine -- it's medium in color but has cooler undertones and goes well with both cabinets and counter:

I am having such a hard time picking out the floor Color. It seems like all the recommendations that I have received ( online and face to face) are so different. Some dark, some light, some brown, some grey, some time, some wood...

So far all I know is that I don't want something too dark because I do not want to see cat hair all the time :)

Do you plan to paint the walls? It's hard to tell what color it is.

One wall is green and the other is tan. I can paint the walls if I need to...

Your cabinets and paint colors are all warm colors, so I think I would go with a medium brown floor. If you're leaning toward a floor with gray and it, I think I would repaint with a gray or a cooler color. What type of flooring does the kitchen floor connect to? What colors do you have going on in the rooms that ajoin the kitchen?

The floor connected to the kitchen had a cream color carpet. The walls are tan and the couches are green with blue, pink, yellow, black pillows.

I have 2 more colors here. I am starting to move away from the grey even though I really like it :)

The first 2 look too red to me. I like the last one, but it's grey, isn't it?

What about something like this?

Or this?

why don't you grab or order some samples of the planks you think you'd like the best and bring them home and see them in your space... then choose the one/s you like best and see what others think then??

it's so hard trying to really see colors accurately based on website photos... I agree that the cherry might look alittle too red in person- when I was looking at fiberglass front doors with wood look stains, the cherry stains that looked nice in the brochures/on line in different brands were too red in person and never looked like real cherry to me (I love real cherry- stained and natural)

I think I picked a color... Let me know what you think.

that color wouldn't be my choice.... too yellow for me.

To me, it looks like it's too close a match to the cabinets.

I agree with k9arlene

When working with wood on wood, it has been said (I learned it here) to try to be at least two shades lighter or darker. In your case, I like the lighter tone you have now, and I would try to duplicate it.

I would suggest vinyl tiles as another option, but I think it would be hard to find a beige that would not clash with your counters.

This is so hard :) Okay. What about either of these? Do I go darker or lighter?

Thank you everyone for putting up with me!!!

oops those are the same.

I think you need some contrast. In that line of flooring from Home Depot, would you consider Alpine Elm, Blue Slate, Brushed Oak Taupe, Canadian Hewn Oak, or Dove Maple? These are the choices that offer some contrast without being real dark (per your request I think due to cat hair). Have you brought home any samples so that they can be evaluated in situ? That is critical, I think.

I love the dove maple and alpine elm. I was told to stick with a medium brown. I was not sure if that colors would match.
