Ebony or Ivory?

While I tend to prefer darker finishes and stains for wood, I have found that lately, I’ve been loving the look of limed oak floors as much as ebonized wood floors. While I know there is a huge array of finishes in between, these two are pretty special. We’ll keep this short and sweet. Which would you choose- ebonized or limed floors?
