We have until Monday to decide on the stain color for our kitchen/dining room remodel. Our home is a 1916 foursquare. We have white painted wood trim throughout the house. Our kitchen will have light gray lower cabinets, white upper cabinets, carrera marble hex backsplash. I'm torn on how to finish the floor -- it is red oak hardwood. When I saw it sanded down I loved the light color, but I don't know how to stain/preserve that look without having it turn yellow. I had originally planned on staining it a dark brown/slightly mahogany tone. Any thoughts? The rest of our first floor will be refinished later this year, so I'm not really concerned with matching any existing wood floor. But the color I choose for the kitchen will carry through the rest of the first floor -- and our rooms are relatively small but get lots of natural light.

I've attached photos of our sample patches (upper right = red mahogany, lower right = dark walnut, lower left = mahogany/walnut mix in different concentrations). Also attached a photo of the unfinished floor as well as our living room (which will be refinished with whatever floor color we choose for the kitchen) and the staircase (currently a mahogany color and will NOT be refinished).

Thanks for any help!
