Choosing a pattern for the mud room floor

Our current "focus room" is the mud room in the back of the house. This weekend I finished up painting the walls in the little hallway that leads to it (Valspar's La Fonda Mirage- a blue) and the main room (Valspar's Jefferson White). In the coat room Tim replaced the beadboard on the wall where we removed an exterior door. He just has a couple pieces of quarter round trim to put up and then I can start painting (Mirage like the hallway).

We are currently trying to decide on a floor pattern. We are going to use composite tiles in a pattern like we did in the laundry room. We already have chosen the colors: a burgundy, bright yellow, and soft yellow. Now we just need to find a pattern. Right now I'm leaning towards this one we found in Better Homes and Gardens Quilt-Lovers Favorites (Meredith Corp. 2001) on page 13.

Tim isn't really sure what he wants. The problem with this pattern is that it takes 4 colors and we only have three. My solution is to go by a couple of the black tiles they keep stocked and fill that in for the yellow. I'd like to get this resolved by this weekend so we can start laying the pattern.
