What color wood floors would go best?…….?

I am purchasing a home that has a beautiful addition onto the kitchen making a huge kitchen greatroom feel. The cabinets are white (which I am going to antique). The counters will probably end up in the brownish neutral zone (granite?). The flooring righ now is mostly pink carpeting that will be ripped out immediately. The ceiling in the greatroom area is a planked wood beam, (think church ceilings and pillars). We are planning on installing hardwood through our both rooms, but are at a loss as to what color. Because the ceiling is wood planks of a medium oak color, I am not sure if I should go darker on the floor, lighter or try to match it. I don’t want a cabin effect. Does anyone have any suggestions?? At this point my husband is not willing to paint the wood on the ceiling white as others have suggested. I am in between…help!!!

~ I would go with a slightly darker floor. A Cherry tone would look really good.
