Here is the brown river/fantasy brown

Pictures would pictures would help. Aside from color, thevissue movement. Is your ountertop going to be busy or not. I like both. It’s a matter of the other elements. With a busy backsplash, get a calm counter. You have two cab colors, so I would go calm. However, quartz annoys me, so I would find a light colored granite with less movement. The quartz you show totally works Though.

Thank you for the feedback. The granite slabs I was able to get photos of (above) but I forgot to get photos of the quartz. The other stone yard I looked at I wasn’t able to get photos.

I agree with not wanting the kitchen to get to busy. When I do the blacksplash it will be a simple subway or herring bone pattern—most likely in the same color as the upper cabinets. Which is why I have to make sure that the countertops match the uppers well so there is no clashing when I add the backsplash.
