I think either option would look great, but I'm leaning toward the darker option! I do think the contrast is nice and I prefer it since the pattern isn't as busy as the lighter option. I think that since the cabinets are glazed kind of giving you that range in tone that going with the less busy option would be best! Good luck!

I personally like the second picture ( the one where you are holding the decorative tile). That granite goes best with your backsplash. I think the colors go very well together. Also, I absolutely love the decorative accent tile!!
