choosing a timeless floor finish

I don’t necessarily need to choose a floor finish at this instant, but I have been thinking about what color wood floor I would want, if I owned my own home.  I really love the new trend of staining wood floors black, but I would imagine a black floor would show scratches and light-colored dust more than a lighter color would.  One would also need a very bright space in order for a black stained floor to work.  However, sometimes we are faced with dark spaces; my solution – the grey wood floor.  

Washed out grey wood reminds me of the ocean and summer cottages.  It makes me think of seashells, light blue color palettes, and sea glass.  Although I most likely wouldn’t would never decorate any room of my house with these aforementioned items, I like that my mind is going to that beach-y, happy place simply because I am thinking about grey wood.  I really love the color in the attached photo, but there are many shades I think I would be happy with.  Shades of Grey…thank you Billy Joel for that extremely catchy song, which is now stuck in my head.
