Love the inspiration picture! It works well with it. I think it will work well with yours.

thank you! I initially posted a not so great picture of the backsplash and it looked very pink. the comments that I got were that the backsplash and counter top didn't look good together at all. you are building my confidence with this remodel! thanks!

Honestly, I think you need to hold them up next to each other and take a picture if possible, or just judge for yourself. Greys and beiges can be really tricky...some are really warm, and others cool. I had a tile I liked on its own, but as you said, when I photographed it next to my countertop it was too grey and made the countertop look pink.

I took these photos of them next to each other. it's just so hard to tell with sample sizes

That backsplash is bossy and beige. It does not go with the bossy and cold gray counter. You are setting up a warm cold clash in your choices.

I agree that the counter trends a little cooler, but I think it's neutral enough that it works. I have a beige-y counter and a more grey backsplash and I think they work well together.
