Can't figure out kitchen floor colour

Wasn't sure whether to put this in Property or Home decoration so have done it in both...

I am getting a new kitchen in a few weeks - slightly off-white painted shaker cupboards with a slightly off-white quartz worktop (silestone ariel), with deep blue painted walls and splashback. I can't figure out which floor tiles to get. Can't use wood as we have it in the rest of the house so it wouldn't match. Looked at LVT but while I look the wood effect ones I think the tile ones look a bit...fake or something.

Anyway, going for floor tiles. I found a light grey polished tile which I loved, but then realised it would be way too slippy when wet. I was thinking a light grey porcelain/stone but can't find anything I like. I have found an off-white/greyish stone tile but I'm not sure how it will look - whether it will just look like a dirty white floor?! And I don't want it to look too cold, although the room is south-facing. Don't want to go dark grey as I think it will be too dark with the deep blue walls.

It's so hard to visualise! Just wondered if anyone had done similar or had any views on the best colour, considering the rest of the colour scheme?

We’ve just had our kitchen floor tiled in off-white/very light greyish stone-like tiles. It looks really lovely. The photos are with the lights on and off - but it actually looks whiter in reality life (more like what you see in the patch of light in the daylight photo).

If you like wood, have it. There is no rule that all your flooring must be identical.

I wouldn't go pale, with pale units and pale worktops. The walls won't always be that colour, in 3-4 years you will redecorate and may go for something else. Personally I really like the contrast of dark grey granite type colour against pale units.

Grey wood - the type that looks like it's been washed out by the sea.

Aka "driftwood" kind of colour.
