Here are pics of the kitchen. Floors will be changed to wood eventually.

As you can see the white of the countertop seems to clash with cabinet color, but cabinet color matches backslash very well. I love the backslash and don't want to change that. And obviously can't change the quartz now 🙄

so, even if you paint the bottom cabinets you are still going to have the backsplash and counter next to each other

I can see that the counter top is a whiter white, but I don't think it looks bad. What is you wait until the floors are installed. It might grow on you.

If it really does not work for you, painting the lowers blue will make it less noticeable.

Or one of these colors.

I agree, it looks fine (and is a very pretty kitchen). Maybe it's not what you expected, but it truly looks fine in the pics. It looks as if the backsplash could read whiter or creamier, depending on the way the light hits it, which really helps bring all the elements together. The wood floors will add some more warmth.

I do not see your issues. The whites all look fine in the pictures. It is VERY WHITE over all. I might have picked hardware that flows with the floor more. Once you move to wood--why you would IDK-- same basic tone but worse material for food/wet etc....but you still have that ONE HIT of brown which is the odd man out. Maybe you aren't going with a natural wood look...I see a lot of grayed out/bleached looks which might work better...

I agree with others that said to just leave and wait and see. I think your kitchen looks good but if you can't live with it here are some visuals for you

It all looks great together! All you need is some colorful accessories on the countertop to break up the 3 white surfaces. It could even be a bowl of fruit.

It looks fine. You’re overthinking it. Put your things on the counters, and you won’t even notice.

I would notice it, forever. Here I go with my foam boards comments again, but...I would get 5-6 large boards and paint them the darker blue on one side (2 coats), and another darker color on the other . Line them up in front of your lower cabinets and see if it changes anything. I would not commit to painting the cabinets until you are sure that it fixes what's bothering you now. Good luck!

I like it. Easy on the eyes. Accessories will help. I am not a fan of uppers and lowers being different colors. I think once the floor is in use wooden accessories and you’ll be done. That will look stunning and simple!!

No one’s mentioned lighting yet….makes a big difference what color & type of lights you have. And, light hits vertical suraces differently than horizontal. I do like your kitchen colors but my taste is to add some colors for interest. You don’t say what colors your original counter & splash were but it could be you’re just needing time to adjust - like when one goes from dark hair to blonde! Seriously! Give yourself some time….

You have a beautiful kitchen your reaction is understanable live with it and shortly you will forget it was ever a concern

I think your kitchen looks very pretty. Would you mind sharing the name and color of your backsplash tiles? Thank you
