Pretty much any countertop that looks beautiful to you. Everything matches white subway tile. I recommend you find a countertop fabricator who will let you visit their suppliers and see the full slabs of granite, marble, and quartz. Find something that looks beautiful to you. There is really no good answer to your question since you're the one who will live there. Even if I suggested something I loved, it might not be your taste at all. That said, here are a few colors that might look nice.

Made our decision to use bamboo. Want a clean, contemporary look without it being cold. Thinking of a creamy quartz or possibly tinted concrete. Advice for counter tops and backsplash appreciated

the color is called gypsum it's not white and it's not cream . the tiles are mostly grey with some black speckled the other color leans towards pink but it's not exactly pink that's why I am having so much trouble with a counter and backsplash color
