Cambria Montgomery -Help with backsplash Please!

I am installing Cambria Montgomery as my

Island and countertop. I have a pale taupe as a potential backsplash since there is that color in Montgomery pattern. Am also considering aqua green.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. ( sorry for no photos). Don't know how to upload!

    If you can match the green that could work. What does the rest of your kitchen look like?

    Thanks so much for replying. My cabinrts will be BM Chantilly Lace. Lots of natural light. Open concept to family room.

    IMO you only have 3 color choices. The cream, green, or taupe. I would stick to one color so it will let your stone be the star. You don't want another busy element. The taupe might be a little too dark, but it's hard to tell without seeing all the elements.

    Thank you so much. Hard decision for me.

    We are in the same position. We have selected Montgomery too, we have tried so many colors of tile and found we like the aqua best. We also looked at a tile mix of white and cream that looked really pretty with it. It is a hard choice! Good luck.

    We will be installing Montgomery, but I think it is BLUE not green. Any thoughts on my color perception?

    I read it as a aqua sort of... it’s a hard color to pin down. I am looking at Sonoma Tilemakers damask in Stellar series. My DH thinks it will be too much. He’d like more of light taupe. If I may ask, are you painting cabinets and if so, what color? Thank you!

    We tired both blue and aqua/green subway tiles, we thought the aqua green looked better with it. The blue looked pretty with it, but to us the aqua/green really went with it.

    Thank you for the info. It really is a beautiful quartz. Bye the way, if you are painting cabinets may I ask what color that goes with countertops? Thank you for your help. It is appreciated.

    This crackle tile would look really nice with it. Don't know if the blue would match up, but maybe one of the other colors.

    Thank you so much for this link. I love crackle tile.

    Cream or a light taupe and accessorize with the blue-green. KitchenAid probably even makes a stand mixer in that color.

    Hi Stacey S. I am still struggling with this. I have limited selection where I live. Can you tell me what exactly your tile is as well as cabinet color? I am getting very demoralized by trying to find backsplash & cabinet color. Thank you for your help.

    I really appreciate the information. Thank you.

    Hi, what are people's thoughts about using the Montgomery itself as the backsplash? We are wanting to do it to simplify the process but I have seen no examples of this. Cambria has 2 cm slabs for wall mounting though...I have seen a lot of color matched or plain white ceramic tile backsplashes but if it wouldn't be overwhelming, potentially a way to get around the backsplash dilemma?

    Thanks for your input!

    I don't like it as a back splash with white cabinets, too washed out. I think maybe a deep gray blue or some aqua tone would work better, even a light navy.

    We are installing this in our laundry room. Using a crackled off white subway tile for backsplash. What should we use for the floor? Any ideas???
