Something white. Once those are installed you won't want anymore dark.

Your space is gorgeous! What color cabinets do you have?

I went with plain white glossy subways for my black and white leathered granite. I wanted to do something more interesting, but the granite is already interesting enough. Your leathered titanium is gorgeous!

Perhaps a very plain tile in a subtle shade that ties in with the rest of your home--something along the line of a super light sage as one idea.

Ac Lb, thanks, these are Marsh cabinets in linen. The hood and island is midnight.

We chose white subway tile and love it.

Gorgeous!

did you get the backsplash in? I really hope you went w/a longer tile.

Good choice. Your countertop is the star of the room.

We choose a 3x6. In back of the cook top and below we are having a slab of the granite. Subway is throughout the rest of the kitchen and above the hood. I’ll post when it gets done.

Finished kitchen over 2 years ago. Thanks for all you input!

Wow -- that looks great! The black granite is striking against the white cabinets.

Your new kitchen is stunning. Just the right amount of drama with the dark stone. Enjoy !

Thank you so much. The cabinets are a linen white taken from the granite color. The island is black cabinets. I was drawn to dark and light combinations.
