Wood Floor Color Advice

I have whitewashed cabinets, pale yellow walls and white/gray countertops. What color wood flooring would look best? I want to play down the cabinets and am willing to paint walls too.

Go with a darker floor--russet or burgundy. It will be elegant.

RE: Wood Floor Color Advice

I have traditional furniture. Floral fabric recliner, burgundy leather recliner with grommets, & a couch and loveseat in an elegant burgundy/gold/subdued green plaid. Couch & loveseat will be replaced in a year or 2 so not too concerned about them. Dining room has medium antique oak table, china closet and buffet. LR and DR open to each other. Both add up to about 400 sft. Not big rooms. Fairly good natural light.
Can't decide on color of new hardwood floor. Buying prefinished so limited in choice. House is colonial so i feel like the lighter colors wouldn't work well and am leaning toward a gunstock color which appears to be medium in color but does have some red in it.
Any suggestions? Hate to make a mistake.

I have a slate gray with black grout wall/fireplace. Red walls...what color flooring can I use. I wanted to use a gray but can find any in that color?

We just had a very light color hardwood flooring put in. We had our dark brown carpet removed and it looks a huge room now! Hope this helps!
