what colour marmoleum for kitchen floor

Need some advice please!

We are redoing our kitchen and have decided on Marmoleum flooring. I'm still hesitating about the colour though. I've been thinking of a light colour - rosato or white marble on the colour chart , but am hesitating as worried they'll look dirty even if clean. I do like the swirly marmoleum effect, don't want pure plain colour. Also like the look of pale floors but am I kidding myself. I am not a domestic goddess so need something that hides dirt!

Units are offwhite matt and counters will be dark grey granite so leaves lots of choice. The room is quite light, not very big, and has a large west-facing window.

A part of me would love colour e.g. orange or red or blue, but my head says sternly "you'll get bored of it" - plus my husband probably wouldn't go for it.

Current floor is horrid cold chipped dark grey marbley tiles. The grey itself isn't bad actually so maybe I should go for that again but a change would be nice.

Recommendations please?

Ok, maybe not blue Grin.
Also we expect to be here for several years so I want something I like.

I once got some marmoleum samples, and love the stuff. Our units were cream and the tiles sage green, and the counter dark greeny. We didn't get marmoleum in the end due to finances, but I loved the 'butter' and 'barley'. They worked in our kitchen but it was generally warm and creamy. Sounds like your colour palette is different...I don't think the swirly ones look dirty when they are clean, I think it's the other way round, the swirls hide marks or dust and they look cleaner when not! How about 'Dovegrey'?
