I don't know if you are asking for opinions or not, but each of the two elements are beautiful individually, but like you, I fear that together they will be too busy. I'm not worried about the colors being too "Khaki Crazy" as you are, but I think I'd want one or the other to be the star of the show. I love your typhoon bordeaux and I think I'd want it to be the star of the show with a backsplash that takes a backseat to the granite.

Rather than use the 1" mosaic from Oceanside, use the 2" and do a custom color blend. You can go to glasstile.com and use their blend program and figure out how many different colors you want. Go with what feels right and change the percentages until it works for you. It's not that much more to have the custom blend and then it's perfect for you. Take a piece of your slab into the tile shop and write down the Oceanside colors you like and go from there.

For me the mosiac is too busy. I would do clear glass in one color. You could make it your accent color.

i agree with westchestermom . i also have typhoon bordeaux and it is so beautiful and busy that i want it to be the focal point. i haven't picked my backsplash yet, but i have in my mind that i would go with a crackle subway tile with either a slight ting of gray or green.

Typhoon Bordeaux has such a grand, beautiful movement to it,
and those tiles look too
small and busy to me. My brain
gets too confused with too much pattern. lol.

I'd look for a tile that really focused the
attention on the countertop. You say the colours
go well, which doesn't show in your pics, so I
might just look for a larger tile to minimize lots of grout lines,
and with perhaps with fewer colours.

You're much smarter than I was in making
your decisions ahead of time. I did it on the
fly - bad move!!!

dvdr, I have the same dilemma. I'm using a granite with a lot of movement, and I also adore glass mosiac. However, I think it will wind up "competing" with the granite. I'm looking for a solution.

I've had suggestions to just paint the backsplash, but we are messy active cooks. I have a painted backsplash now and it's a mess. I'm considering picking a shade of color that picks up one of the movement colors in the granite, and then installing a sheet of tempered glass over that. That way I get a solid non-competing look, but the low maintenance of a solid sheet of glass.

Btw... my dadinlaw just looked at your pics and thinks you picked a perfect mosaic to go with that granite - so everything is subjective. :)
