not clear why the tile is to match the sink. but anyway the picket style in the greenish as shown vote #2 looks to be the best if thats what you want. . then I think you've gotta do something like champagne bronze hardware to brighten things up a little.

Matching the sink isn't crucial at all. We supply tile backsplashes to our clients but send them to 2 showrooms to select their tile. We aren't big enough to display all the offerings of Florida Tile and Daltile. When I said 'display'...I meant...I want to dress up this cabinet display. That is our bread and butter.

I'm not particularly fond of colored sinks either....but white was way to stark with this display and we really wanted to show the whitehaven in our showroom.

herb, the color is the darker gray.....not the green. Pictures are for shape.

whatever..yes the picket shape is a nice focal point. use slightly lighter grout and something showy/brighter w faucet and hardware. that will be nice .

Love arabesque with honed finish. Light gray with snowy white grout would complement both the sink and cabinetry....imo
