Think I picked it! (backsplash/x post)

Ok, last post except for reveal (hahaha!) I hope!

Remember it was between the glass milkshake and the ceramic latte? I found the latte one would not go well with the paint and kinda too beigey. The milkshake one a bit too brown. But cozy.

So I think I found a good in between. I'm kinda ticked I sent back the brown one as it would have been a great comparison. Oh well, I should know better! After all you have taught me GW!

So it's the one with the paint chip on it, the. 3rd from the left. Taupe. That's the colour. Not very exciting. Reads taupe. Grey/beigey depending on the light.

?? What say GW?

    Well, that's the thing - you don't want it to be exciting, you want it to complement your exciting quartz. It's hard to tell from the photo, but I think you want to be on the beige/brown side vs the gray side. That may be exactly what this one is. From your other thread, I like the chocolate, but I agree it was too brown, too "look at me." The glass is going to be a good look there :-)

    It is glass anitamo. I was looking for ceramic but I just can't find the right colour, depth, interest.

    Suzanne_si- I'm hoping that's what it is without being too grey. So hard to tell!

    ... akl, not sure if I've seen or contributed to your previous threads. It's not a bad choice, but have you considered a tile the color of your cabs, and possibly a grout the grey color of your walls?

    I mentioned this in the decorating forum. You are looking at a glass tile on a black background. However that is not the color it is actually. The color when laid on your backsplash will be against a white background. Make sure you doublecheck the color with the white background showing through.

    Eam44, I do love the look of a creamy tile with a grey grout, but I'm concerned about how white my sink is (kohler cast iron white) and that it won't be different enough it'll just make the tile look dirty or like I was trying to match it. Kwim? Same with the cabs. Thank you!

    You guys have talked me away from glass though. Thank you, I do agree when seeing it that it's just a bit modern for the space.

    I still like the jeffrey court tiles in crackle finish. And not too expensive.

    while i like what u picked out, i don't feel that a glass tile really works with your countertop...to me, glass "reads" modern and your kitchen doesn't give me that vibe. i like the style eams44 picked out, although i don't know if i would go with that color specifically. but thats JMHO. if u love that, then that's all that matters!! good luck!!

    akl - I like those last ones. What are they? They remind me of my Sonomas.

    Isn't that last post all the same tile in different lighting?

    I vote for that one too! It looks like the perfect transition.
