Like some others, I recommend you let your wife pick out the floor covering. Having worked as a builder for a few years our rule was always "Let HER make decisions that deal with decor." If you pick it out and she doesn't like it, guaranteed, it will always be your fault.
If it helps, I'm not fond of those 2 colors together. Have you considered another floor covering such as a tile pattern or other glue down flooring? Installation is about the same for most of the glue down or laminated flooring.
