I can't find a link to srg215's final photos, but here are some from right after the tile went up.

It is Mandala's Sinu Collection, the color is called Stingray. She & I both have the same granite, and this was one we were considering. I suggested she go look at it and I think it was love at first site.

Quite a lesson here--you will either like this look bigtime or hate it. I'm in the second group--I respect natural light too much. I've just learned that if the tile's not a color I'd consider in paint, I shouldn't consider it in tile either.

I currently have a dark countertop with a matching dark backsplash. Very like the Black Pearl photo above.

Luckily, the backsplash is so dark it never shows when I projectile vomit on it. Which I do, daily. It's like visiting a foreign museum, where you don't speak the language, and accidentally wandering into a film presentation of an explicit 1943 documentary in Bulgarian on Nazi bestiality, but you can't figure out how the exit door work. Except uglier.

I think I could deal with the Elle Decor all white on dark, or maybe the cozy bulletin board, or even some of the sorta-dark yet sparkly. The rest looks like the backside of a baboon with hemorrhoids.

Really think about how dark you really want your kitchen to appear and feel, so you won't be disappointed. I remember a couple of pervious posts where the people didn't like their new bs because they were too dark.

Three years after building our house, I finally decided on the backsplash (only put it over the cooktop) and had it installed last month. After looking at hundreds of bs during that time, I had eventually decided that I wanted something that was light, since that was the darkest part of my kitchen. I also wanted something interesting to look at with a focal point and some color, so in addition to a 12" x 12" diamond shaped center mosaic with a little rosso and verde marble in it, I used 2" x 10" polished travertine (which is creamy, beige, and tan with varied natural patterns in it) and put it on a diagonal around the diamond shaped mosaic.

Before I had this done, there was a 16" x 16" heavy embossed aluminum wall hanging there. I had not thought of it as being dark, until the new polished travertine was up which reflected a minimal amount of natural light during the daytime and the hood and overhead lights at night. What a difference! The lightness feels so uplifting every time I stand there and cook, or even when I walk by.

I have green Catamarca marble...not really dark, but not white subway tiles either. I loved the stone when I saw it, and it goes great with the other colors and finishes in my kitchen. I have so much natural light and good lighting that it's fine. IRL it's greener than it appears in these pictures.

Wow Warmfridge, that is really beautiful! I love the uniqueness of the natural stone. I bet you play "pick your favorite tile" and haven't found one yet, because each day you find one you like better than the last! You will never tire of that tile, I am sure!

Thank you, cali. This marble is my favorite thing in my whole kitchen. I wish my photos accurately showed all the green shades.
