I love subway tile!! Any color - I prefer shiny white, but you can get matte to suit your preference in any warm color.

I would use ivory travertine 3 x 6

I am submitting a picture of Uba Tuba with a backsplash of square tiles placed diagonally. It is the only thing about the picture I want you to notice. Not the color or sheen. Aren't you tired of seeing subway tile everywhere? I have never liked travertine tile with shiny granite. Especially darker granite. I think the Uba Tuba is too "glam" for the pedestrian travertine. Can you look at the flecks in the granite and get inspired? Also remember, there is no law stating that you must have a backsplash. If you are not finding something you like you could always add a four inch strip of your granite and simply paint the remaining wall space.
