We are building a new house. The cabinets are a honey spice color and the countertops are a dark spotty granite. I have no idea what color to make the floor, either. The kitchen is very big so dark colors can be an option.

Just chose a dark granite counter for a big kitchen and we are going with a laminate floor in shades of grey, white, beige very natural and we chose a color called jazzy sax, which is not a mustard but in the golden brown family. Very rich and since the kitchen is open to the main rooms we used a color called Tate olive they are beautiful.

First of all...congrats on the new home. That is so exciting for you!!! You dont' want it dark and depressing. You spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I would suggest a creamy yellow. It will be inviting, warm, cheery and make you feel great. Accent w/reds. Believe me, it looks great. I have that in my kitchen. My cabinets are painted white; distressed. My counter is oxidized metal (lots of color) and the floor is a granite look. Good Luck

Dark colors tend to be depressing and not to inviting. I would think lighten it up a bit so that you are not entering a cave when your entertain in the kitchen.
Maybe a lighter brown sugar with texture.

What about beautiful aqua colored walls with a chocolate hardwood floor? It's absolutely stunning and won't stale date any time soon. The aqua with the honey would be very classy.

Dark Mauve or Dark Green. It depends on which would match your counter top better.

A combination of greens and yellows would help keep things bright.
