Quick edit: the 'white edge' on the rust tile is dust from the floor which I didnt clean!

there are a lot of colors of cabinets that dont go with the rust, so its a matter of, are you willing to ditch the floor when you dont want white cabinets any more?

thanks nnigrt! Good point! I am going to have a glass lacquer kitchen so its not like i can paint over the cabinets when i feel like it...it will have to be a new kitchen again, if i ever do that. I think using rust is the same as using brown, cannot do a brown kitchen with brown floor...then again with the sand, i am always safe... I can have a blue kitchen if i want to in 20yrs time! Hmmmmm!

You won't be able to save the flooring if you replace the cabinetry so i wouldn't account for that in your decision.

my tile goes under my cabinets... it can be done either way.

My tiles are going under the cabinets. This morning I took the tiles to my aunt's place where she is having her kitchen installed. My kitchen is more elongated (plus having an open plan dining and living) than squarish like hers, but just wanted to compare with a white kitchen!

the red (rust) is a very decided color. you know if you love it or not, we cannot help you on that bit... so my only contribution can be that i think the sand(?) would 'go' with more choices.

i have a decided kitchen floor (black and white checkerboard). you just gotta know what you love and commit, or else play it safer.

Why not consider something different like wood looking tile? It will give you more color variations and less of grout to clean ( most of them have 1/16 " line)

Thanks sofikbr, i considered that, but already did the top floor with ceramic wood like tiles...want to change a bit!

The darker one will look better

I like the darker one

Thanks for all your opinions! I orderedthe dark one!!
