I would run the tile straight up to the ceiling, around the hood for maximum impact. The tile should be considered when selecting the paint for the areas above the cabinets.

I plan on using sw reflection for the paint color

I agree i would tile a little further up but i would stop at the cabinets to have a satisfying even look

100% all the way to the ceiling. We’re doing the same in our kitchen remodel and stopping the tile anywhere but the ceiling feels unfinished. It will make a nice impact in the design.

If the tile is just to the bottom of the vent hood right now, that can work. You can also tile to the top of the cabinets.
