Floating floor color options?

Hi, everyone.Ik new to the forums here. I live in a pretty crappy apartment here in jew Delhi which was likely built in the 80s or 90s which mark indians departure from a socialist era. Houses of this kind are generally structurally very sound in terms of structural elements (rcc columns, beams and floor slabs) but the masonry work, plumbing, and electrical work are shoddy. Not to get too much into it, it's a crappy place but it's redeeming quality is the size of the rooms. Anyway, as youll see in the images, I've had the lights changed from ugly wall tube lights to sconces and the paint changed from urine stain yellow to a dark blue which I achieved by adding significant amounts of blue and black stainer to acrylic distemper.Getting to my point, I love the look of the blue paint and it makes the room very cozy and dramatic in our harsh summers and looks especially good against the white ceiling with all the moulding but the "dirty" marble flooring just makes the room look like crap. As I'm renting the place, retiling isn't an option so I looked into easy-on easy-off floor systems like carpet tiles and floating vinyl or laminate flooring. I ruled out carpet tiles simply because of the amount of dust we have here in Delhi. It's rough, it's course and it gets everywhere. Hardwood is a pipe-dream since lumber yards here are run by morons who don't know a damn thing about wood stability, color and drying leaving you with high moisture boards that will warp over a short period. Fortunately, solid core, waterproof vinyl looks pretty good and is pretty cheap here. Can you suggest what color options would compliment my room's paint scheme? Please ignore the furniture, most of it I either bought for next to nothing from office clearances or just inherited from my grandfather (beds and doors are ugly but are pure teak).Thanks in advance!
