If it is, (say it is the counter tops.) then try to match closely with that same color on the floor and your counter tops will balance the space and be highlighted. (this will also make your space look bigger.)

If the cabinets are the jewel of the kitchen, you might consider matching the floor to the cabinets, both in color and texture. Surprisingly, this can make the space look bigger as well, with a seamless flow from the cabinets on down.

Then, keep the floor there clear of rugs when you show it, and prospective buyers will admire how beautiful it is!
A special thank you to Uptown Girl as her idea of matching floor to cabinets was echoed by the sales woman and the female realtor that originally picked the color of the flooring.
