    The narrow tall one in the middle it has some hues from your cabinets and will complement the look

    how about a photo that shows your kitchen and shows the flooring?

    I can barely make out the coloring in your stone. what color is on the walls?


    Here's one to get you going. Tilebar.com Byzantine Bianco (5 samples for $5 over there. order some)



    post better pics here in comments. don't post them w/the Houzz link or I can't do a mock-up on the photo. just load a few pictures here in comments using the Photo icon.

    IMO the backsplash tile should match one of the colors in the counter material....the background color or one of the vein colors.

    What is the name of the middle tile? It looks like it might be the same tile from The Tile Shop that I recently used for my back splash. It has pretty shine and subtle movement & color variation around edges. I will find a photo and post so you can see how it looks. Of course, colors won’t be true but I hope it’s helpful. You can’t see the qualities that make that tile “pop” when looking at only one.

    Following. We too are stuck on picking backsplash tile and our granite looks to be the same as yours!

    I don't have the name of the tile, but it is from The Tile Shop here in Washington, DC.

    Here is the kitchen before the current backsplash was demolished, along with the countertop. The above picture shows new sheetrock already added and the granite.

    A picture like this in the current state with new counters and no backsplash is needed. An old picture of stuff you used to have isn’t helpful to guide a new choice.

    I will take a new picture. Thanks.

    I love the middle choice with your counters, but I'm not sure that I love it with your cabinets. The one on the right might work better with both. I think the one on the left is too white for your counters.

    I think I have to stick with a creamy color tile.

    I definitely love the long narrow subway Beth shows (2nd to last). I think the narrow tile will help make your backsplash look taller (higher). Good luck!
