I love granite counters. However, with that backsplash you need a solid quiet counter like a quartz.

Either the backsplash or the granite with movement. Not both. Are you set on the backsplash? I like it but I’m afraid I’d get tired of it rather quickly.

the era of kitchen, to me, says corian counter -whitish-w flecks. If you want patterned tile I would get a soft [blue/white] or [green /white]….light shading….a bit of color can be great for an older all white kitchen.

A basically black granite, sometimes found with some subtle white veining in the slab, something like Virginia Mist, in a honed or leathered finish.

Homed or leathered absolute black.

We agree that a corian counter would look very nice with that tile backsplash. A black granite might be too dark, but it might be another option.

What color would you suggest?

Do you know the name of that tile? You could search kitchen photos on Houzz - something might pop up.

Take a look at Anhara Black or Black Pearl granite. Leathered is beautiful and not as dark as polished version. Photo below is Ahnara leathered. It is dark grey / black. The cabinet is SW extra white.

Steel Grey granite is also pretty consistent and would look good with that backsplash.

I second steel gray. We have it in a brushed finish in our kitchen and love it. It is in the least expensive category as far as granite goes. It doesnt show finger prints.

I would look at Corian for something that could tie in backsplash and appliances. The tile is pretty but complicated, so a solid counter IMO would be best. Perhaps Silver Gray

Or Natural Gray.

take brown paper and spray it black and lay it on counters. Fear the deadening of your space with black appliances, black counter and gray white tile. Are you opposed to color, I guess? I think a lively red or persimmon formica or the classic whitish corian would be nicer than black counters here. Just my opinion. Liven it a bit.

i also agree that Corian is the way to go for your style kitchen. if you don't want white, than go for a light gray. white might be hard to match with the cabs.

i would not go dark since your appliances are dark, unless you get a ton of light in the room.

I just saw this display in my local tile store and love the combo of white cabinets with grey counter and the pattern of backsplash is similar to yours. I say go with solid dark grey or black on your counters to contrast with the backsplash and make it pop
