None of the above - are you painting cabinets? Losing the two tone effect and replacing the hardware is the first step - pick a neutral tan from the countertops and use bronze hardware. Then the first or second option might be ok - no high contrast as with #3

Agreed... the cabinets are already drawing attention to themselves by being two different colors. I suggest lightening them and making them one color

None of the three. Cabinets need to be one colour then consider simple subway tile picking up colour from counter.

I agree with the rest. You have to paint the cabinets and then pick the backsplash.

None of the elements work together.

You obviously love busy movement and design, but to give that lovely counter a chance to shine, I'd say white cabinets and a tile that matches the counter white/ cream but still go with a nicely designed tile likely suggestions.
