Both look great but we like the dark gray a little better!

Dark wood floors would look great in the house, will give it a little more color and would stand out a little more as well!

Whitewashed has my vote, as I have always loved this in the traditional herringbone pattern..just feels classic French to me.

Definitely do a lighter grey. It will keep the room open and fresh and the grey hue will give the space the edge calls for.

I would recommend the lighter as well. We are currently doing a house with very similar colors. Use the decor to add the color and accents you want. Both floors look great, but i like the feel that the lighter colors present.

I vote for lighter grey. Light colors will make your room seem larger and brighter.

Echoing Monarch's comment above, Darker floors show every bit of dust, pet hair and human hair.
