Color/shade of laminate to put in rental?

[Bienes Raices]

I was in the floor store looking at laminate and the store employee asked me what color the furniture was so that the laminate wouldn't clash. This hadn't occurred to me, since the house is vacant right now. Is there a "neutral" color to pick, and is it better to go darker or lighter?

Also, they had thicknesses ranging from 7mm to 12mm. Is there an optimal thickness to use?

I personally wouldnt use laminate in a rental but if i did i would definitly go with the 12mm and a light color because scratches on dark colors show more. I installed a dark laminate at my bro in laws and one section got scratched from something getting caught between the door and the floor as he opened the door and you can see the scratch clearly!
