Hi Mary,
Here's an article with several ideas about painting a design on a linoleum floor which will also work for vinyl tile. Click on the link for each project for directions. Of course, you don't have to actually paint a design. You can paint it a solid color. In that case, check out any of the paint designs for the basics. Preparation is the key to success here and it's best to use a paint designed for floors. Other than that, it's a process. Sand, clean, prime, paint, seal. That may sound like a lot of steps, but if you want the floor to last longer it's the best way to go. It's also a good idea to give the floor an extra coat of sealer every year or so. That helps protect it even longer. Wishing you the best.

You don't say what kind of floor.

What kind of floor do you have? When we had our hardwood floors refinished, they used Bona water based commercial grade sealer and it's held up well with a 150 pound dog.
We painted our tile floor with chalk paint and then sealed it with polycrylic. Here is my tutorial: https://www.aratariathome.com/blog/painted-tile-tutorial-entry-way-makeover-part-2
