Plain white “pearly” tile?

Montauk Gin from Tilebar?

Your granite is fabulous. And I for one think your backsplash is pretty fabulous with it. Paint your cabinets a pretty creamy white and I think you have yourself a really lovely kitchen.

Bedrosians Chloe tile 🖤

Oh thank you! Creamy is on my top 2 list for cabinet colors. We have lived here for 13 years and I am just ready for a change with the backsplash and cabinets.

I have a Montauk Gin sample but think I want to go less “shiny”. I love a matte tile but don’t know that it works in here. I also have a sample of the Cloe on its way; we used a very similar tile in our bathroom shower and I love it. (Makoto Shoji White) I also have a box leftover so I thought it may be an option to use that.

It’s a great color. I went from inheriting a dark oak kitchen to Creamy.

The green stone you found is wonderful. Not too light and not too dark. It definitely will look great with Creamy. And it’ll be the star of the kitchen.

Here is my before and after. We took down a pony wall near the kitchen and extended the granite out to Great Room.

The kitchen opens into this room so you can see why I want to change the cabinets and tile. The fireplace was turquoise and I just had it redone as well.

Here is Montauk Gin and Sand and Cloé in creme against SW Creamy paint sample. I am waiting on my Cloé white sample.

Tilebar's Portmore in white? It has a bit more cream in it than bright white. But it's also more than one color of white, so maybe it's too busy.

Get the cabinets painted first before choosing a tile. Make sure the creamy white of your cabinets goes well with the green island….or are you painting that as well? Then get your lighting updated and then look at tile!

The island is being painted whatever color we choose for cabinets. Cabinets will be painted after the tile is done bc the contractor doesn’t want to risk damage to freshly painted cabinets when ripping out tile.

Please posts pics when done. It will look lovely

I would get the backsplash removed then paint then choose backsplash.

Unfortunately I can’t do that bc my contractor and painter don’t work together; two separate people and two separate jobs. The color of the cabinets will be very close to the wall color so I don’t think that’s going to be an issue with tile color. It’s more what style and layout of tile to choose so that it doesn’t compete with the busy granite.

It’s not that easy to match a WHITE cabinet to white tile while looking at a small sample of paint. When the entire cabinet space is painted and takes on your homes lighting, windows etc, its very hard to predict the final outcome. If you read a lot of these Houzz blogs you’ll see it repeated a thousand times over “I didn’t know it would be so dark, now it doesn’t match my tile”, or “it’s too creamy and the tile looks too stark”. Then again sometimes you get lucky and it all comes together…

I would not choose a high variation white tile (like Cloe) with your granite.

You're getting good advice about matching whites but if you must choose and want a white/cream backsplash, I think you should keep looking. The tile on the left looks closest in color on my monitor but to me, the surface waviness makes the counter look gaudy.

Would you consider a soft grayed-green tile that echoes the counters? These are from Winchester Tiles. The first two are Tundra, the last two are Sudbury.

Those are great as well; that's why this is so hard!

@laurenlaney - Because it is. 😩

If you want white it needs to transition from the white of the cabinets to the white in the granite.

I wouldn’t mind a green. The greens in your bs now seem to blend with your granite.

Take one of the greens colors from your current BS and get it in subway tile and run it vertically.
