Posted in chat for more traffic.
Need help picking a vinyl floor. Struggling with colours.
Favourites so far are the two in the photo. One is darker and the other is more of classic colour so possibly safer.

It is going in an open plan smallish house, should be light. Walls will probably be white or a variation of. Kitchen will be navy blue gloss with aura dekton worktops.
Any advice or other colours,? You will need to be very specific if poss. So far like the quickstep range and the lamett amazon range ( very keen on this since seems bulletproof which i will need

Lighter one. I had it in my previous rented accommodation and it was so nice. I’m going to be getting it when I get my own house.

I don't like either of your choices with the blue I'm afraid especially with the marble. I'd definitely go more grey in tone.

i know what you mean raspberry about the grey but i just did not like them when i got the samples - still keeping an open mind about it though. Probelm is I have seen this range of vinyl and have got a bit stuck on it because it has such a high wear level which I will need. Also i have scoured the internet for the blue with the same worktop and it works well with most floors.

That flooring in the pic definitely looks less orange/brown toned than the ones you have chosen, seems more neutral somehow.
I like the one @SavoyCabbage posted.
Although I appreciate screens aren't always accurate, think along the lines of "grey ash" , "stone oak" names as opposed to "chestnut" and "honey" iyswim?

Paler one is quite neutral in reall life.
Darker one is more brown with a grey tinge - salesman called it grey in fact..
Will post a photo from website

Looking at the picture on the left the red circle being the selected colour I think I would choose one of the two above it. Looks a much better tone for the look you are going for.

The second on above is the brown one in the first picture.
The others dont have much variations in them so look a bit flat.
