Keep it simple......stainless or white

I LOVE the first pix Beverly recommended. GORGEOUS!

Your granite has some movement, I'd keep the color solid, but you can do a different pattern. Get samples and test in your kitchen.

it's a small area to tile, so I think-every pattern of tile that's relatively long or big will be lost as there will be too many cuts. I'd start with size..maybe 2 by 4 if you like rectangular, or 4 by 4 if you like square..in short not bigger than subway for sure, smaller even..and then you can play a bit with shape or pattern, or how will be layed out. I'd keep the color simple..because of the granite. Like stainless steel idea too, even though my choice would probably still be ceramics

I love zellige etc, but find it hard to visualize it with granite..they signal of somewhat different sensibilities to me

But I agree best to see in your kitchen. Nothing like seeing materials together in your space and your light.

We agree, with such a small area it is recommend to do white.

I'd go with a white tile - that has something a bit different or interesting about it. For example:
