Have you already ordered the island? I would choose a green tile and coordinate it for a green paint for the island.

Can you post pictures of the green you are thinking about?

I'm thinking something to this effect or even a shade or two darker. I've seen some MSI marble backsplashes such as Greecian White but my concerns were that it may be 1) too blue to conflict with the green island 2) too much white/light and wash out.

What does anyone think based on this photo which will be quite similar to my kitchen?

What color/type are your floors?

I believe they are pine, very similar to this photo. Also, walls are mindful grey but Sherman Williams, greige almost.

Green tiles can be found! (I love green tile.)

Try Pratt & Larson or Fireclay or Sonoma for starters...

I decided on a monochromatic look, handmade green subway tile backsplash (Blue Slide tiles made in Point Reyes, CA) and Farrow & Ball Blue Gray painted cabinets.

Quemere Designs also has a lot of greens in various shapes. We used one called Mediterranean Blue in our kitchen (it's actually a green).

@chinacatpeekin i love, love your kitchen. we are in the midst of a rennovation and our cabinets will be F&B Pigeon. would you mind sharing your countertop?

Very pretty green colour you've chosen. I think you'll be able to find a tile with green elements that will work. Also, the backsplash tile is not abutting the green on the island so you need a green in the right colour family but not necessarily the same green.

Here are some examples I've seen....I also have a love of green tiles and some of these marble mosaics are so gorgeous. I keep waiting for a project where I can use some of these ideas.

These first few are ming green marble mosaic....usually mixed with Thassos marble. This can get spendy pretty quickly - I don't know how much tile you need.

I think this one is too dark but there are lots of variations on this type and I like it laid in an offset for the 4 X 4 size. Classic but not old fashioned.....

This one comes in other formats but this is the only picture I could find of the green colour. https://www.anatoliatile.com/collections/soho

This one is a Riad tile which I think is gorgeous. It might be a little too blue but the hint of iridescence in this tile is just gorgeous and the watery blue green tones are spectacular IMO.

When I saw the colour of your island, the first thing I thought was ming green marble. I love the choices posted above. However, the ceramic greens from anatolia tile are also to die for. Look forward to seeing what you choose.

Given white cabinets, off white counters, greige walls and green island (shade will have a major influence), suggest thinking big picture: how to connect the shades/space and what suits your overall style.

I’d wait until everything else is done and then bring home lots of samples; not only for color, but style will also have a major impact.

Lots of great advice and input from everyone, thank you!

Dream Sofa, the countertop is marble, “Calacatta Venato Blanco”. I love it! I confess, I am careful with it. I love F&B Pigeon, and came very close to using it on the cabinets.

wait until everything is in. then you choose.

order some samples from Encore Ceramics and Fireclay tile. they have some gorgeous greens

so does Winchester tiles

pasture

I love the color you’re planning for the cabinets. Waiting till everything is done, including lighting, is the best scenario for choosing tile. You really need to see “the whole picture” to choose a great backsplash tile.

North Prairie tile works and Mercury Mosaics both have some beautiful greens.

If you can wait until cabinets and counters are in I would do so before commiting to a backsplash.. I think green would be expected. what other finishes are in the space? What other accent colors will you have in the home? Have you thought about incorporating a black accent or gold or polsihed nickel. That leads me to ask what is your lighing and hardware? You need not use your backsplash as the color in the space, you can bring that in with accessories and window treatments.
