LVP vs Carpet flooring (lack of sunlight scenario)

[Matt Zale]

I'm doing a condo renovation with my own labor and I have the option to either flip-sell it or rent it out. It was a remote purchase where I didn't get to physically inspect and I'm just now visiting/renovating it. The flooring is going well. I acquired some luxury vinyl planks (LVP) and installed it already on everything except the two bedrooms. The LVP is a pretty dark 'Timberland Oak'. After the first few days of installing I noticed the unit doesn't get as much sunlight as I expected and I'm concerned the unit will just be too dark. Even the existing white wall paint doesn't seem to light it up. So I'm now trying to decide whether I should break up the dark color with some light berber carpet (maybe an off-white salt and pepper) vs. just continuing on with the dark LVP. I've read all the debate on carpet vs non-carpet flooring and most of you all side with non-carpet for durability and maintenance. 

However, in this scenario would you start to consider the light carpet option? Any experience to share with property that has lack of sunlight?
