Do you think that my floors need to match?

Our kitchen and dining area is large and currently has linoleum on the floor that needs to be replaced. I don't know if I should match the hardwood floors in the rest of the house or can I use a different style of hardwood such as a plank floor?
also, do I have to match the color. (The rest of the homes floors are original oak floors.)

In my opinion you can use the plank floors ,however I would math the color as close as you can to the other floors.
I agree with Janet. You can use any style flooring, but try to match the color. It will delineate the kitchen area as being separate, but still blend in with the rest of the home.
If the floors will run into each other then use the same flooring. If in different parts of the house change the hardwood but people will notice it. I am going to do my kitchen and family room in a textured bamboo that looks like hardwood as it is much more durable. A good one is Cali bamboo that you can purchase at Lowes or directly from the company.
Thanks Laurie, I appreciate you taking the time to share. I do agree with you. I am kind of a match, match type so it makes sense. I'll take a look at the textured bamboo, sounds interesting.
thanks William and Janet for taking the time to help me out. The search begins!
