Of the two, I prefer darker tile on left. Tile on right is too close to cabinet color but not close enough & looks like tried for match but missed. It Doesn’t match lightest tone in counter either. Tile on right is nice blend. I might think of matching the grout to the cabinet color If not doing exact match to tile. Depends on the layout design of tile.

I would do a very light silver.

Is the one on the right a taupe? And does it match a color in the granite?

The top pic shows a light putty color ceramic on the left and a pan ivory glass on the right. The 2nd pic is a darker putty ceramic on the left and an oyster ceramic on the right.

Here are some photos in natural light

Can you put multiple of the same ones up like they will be so there is a full visual. if there is not a rush first oicking it, once you have your cabinets and countertop in then is the perfect time to tape some of these up so you get the full visual. Lighting in your kitchen as it will be will be key as well. Will you have under cabinet lighting?

In my opinion, backsplash tile should match the major color in the counter, especially if the counter has a lot of white. The wrong white will look dirty or too creamy.

We recommend taking a color from your fantasy brown countertops and using that as a backsplash. Below are a few kitchen designs of ours that might aid you with your dilemma.

I like the one on the left with the darker edges not so perfect & a little more interesting.

I'm with GA title. I like the darker one with the dark edges.

The "taupe" ones (and the counter somewhat) all have a purple cast on my screen. It's nice!

All of them except the looong whiteish one look pretty good though.

Thanks, everyone. I’m going to keep looking and wait until my cabinets are finished before I make a decision
