Bottom. No matter what.

It really depends on how much difference there is in your colors to me, but I totally agree with Omanana on the other points.

If you want the ceiling to look higher, light on top, and vice versa. If either color is close to or matches the floor color, put that one on the bottom because it will make the room look bigger.
