Backsplash for kitchen with mixed cabinets

I'd love some thoughts on a backsplash for our kitchen with mixed cabinets if anyone is up to it!

One wall will remain Kraftmaid Muslin Maple (couldn't find a stock photo but the color is here:)

The other wall will be Kraftmaid Rainfall

We are leaning towards this Wilsonart Beige Travertine for the countertop (on all cabinets). The flecks they say are black actually pick up the Rainfall very nicely.

Currently our walls are BM Jackson Tan. We could change that but it is an open space and this color is right through to the living room.

We'd like to do a floor (someday) in this tone below.

We have been living with a blue Corian for over 15 years and really like the pop of color it provides so I'm leaning towards a backsplash that might do that (maybe similar to the above photo) and tie in both our cabinet colors.

I'm a totally rookie so I'd love to hear what you think. Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestions. Those are interesting shapes and definitely not something I would have thought of!

Oooh! I think the first two tiles that Boxerpal shared would be BEAUTIFUL with your cabinets and countertops. They bring in the colors from all three and give you some color throughout.

Hi there! I just searched for rainfall Kraftmaid kitchens and found this discussion- I love the color combination. What did you end up going with? Care to share a photo? Hope it all worked out for you!

Since you have color in the cabinets and a counter with interest I would keep the backsplash cream ( more texture than color). I have green cabinets and green backsplash and granite and yellow beige walls and it is a lot going on.

@jlkhan13 - We ended up with a full kitchen remodel and didn't go with any of this. Sorry! I still really love the Rainfall color!
