like the white Armstrong Alterna D4120... look the best I checked out the colors of l real inoleum but no whites etc...
I dislike dark earth tones....I am going to order some samples. But believe both Armstrong and Mannington have the dimples surface. Im just concerned that it will attract dirt and get down in the dimples. like those textured refrigerator door and handles.and even storm doors ugh... well anyway
Most dealers said very little call for "white" or light colored flooring. I luv the natural stuff like granite, porcelain but concerned with the hard surface in case we slipi n bathroom, and the wear and tear with walking on real hard surfaces our bones ,etc
thanks y'all

We have a few projects that we'll use linoleum or vinyl. Would greatly prefer linoleum, as it's made with linseed oil rather than liquified dinosaurs, but the local boxes here have mostly vinyl.

It's warm, soft, easy to install, and cheap. And these days, beautiful stuff. Good luck finding something to your liking.
 
Agree on the dimpled surface - our kitchen floor is "textured" and it's just a dirt trap/magnet and hard to clean properly.
