Stone floors sound wonderful until you have to keep them clean, because you can't use normal cleaners on them without staining the stone, and they are usually porous enough to trap stains and dirt, especially in a kitchen. They also can require a new subfloor, and possibly extra bracing under the subfloor for the weight of the stone. This all costs a good amount in labor and materials, and you still don't have the floor and countertops in yet. You might consider stone-look porcelain tile, matched to the granite countertop.

First decide what color scheme you want in your kitchen. Consider the color of your cabinets and your lighting. If your cabinets and room are dark, lighter shades would work better. If your cabinets and room are light, you could go with darker shades. If possible, take a sample of your cabinets with you when you shop for countertops and flooring. That will help you narrow your sample choices. Bringing home samples is essential, even if you have to pay for them. Samples will look different in your home than they do in a showroom. For countertops, consider quartz as well as granite, since quartz does not have to be sealed as granite does. If your countertops will have multiple seams, a smaller pebbly pattern will conceal them better than a larger swirl pattern. For flooring, porcelain tile, as sooz001 suggested, is a more practical alternative to natural stone. Your countertop and flooring colors don't have to match, but the underlying tones should. If you are looking for beige/tans for example, some have grey, some have pink, some have yellow undertones. Also, if you choose a busy pattern for your countertops, a simple pattern for your flooring would be best, or vice versa. Good luck with your kitchen remodel.

There are pros and cons to every type of material for countertops and flooring. These Houzz stories are helpful for choosing materials.

Here's one on flooring. (Note that this is a bit dated. Porcelain tile is more durable than ceramic tile, and grout sealers are much improved.)

Some things to consider: If your kitchen subfloor is concrete (no basement or crawl space), porcelain tile can be installed directly onto the concrete. If your kitchen subfloor is plywood, you will have to install cement backer board (1/4 -1/2 inch) to stabilize the subfloor before installing tile. Solid wood flooring works fine over plywood but should not be used over concrete, and engineered wood flooring is not recommended for kitchen use.
