Picking Carpet

Why is it so hard to decide on a new carpet?  We spent way too much time today at RC Willey trying to pick our replacement carpet.  Here is the spectrum we settled on....

Jen wanted something similar to what we currently have just a bit darker....Dustin wanted to change it up completely.  

So we narrowed it down to two choices.

We went back and forth and back and forth......we liked both carpets!  We looked at them in different types of light (sun light, lightbulb light, etc.).  In the end we felt the darker one would be too dramatic of a change for us, and looked a bit more 'yellow' in certain lights - especially in the basement.  So the winner is the lighter one that has just a tad more brown mixed in than our current carpet.  Now we just have to wait 3 weeks for it to be installed!
