Our DIY kitchen -Countertop Color Suggestions?

Three weeks ago we moved into our new old house. Two weeks ago, we gutted the kitchen. Now this coming weekend - we should be ready to install the countertops. My dilemma is color.

Our walls are a mossy green, cabinets are a ginger maple, and the flooring is Cork, they work together, but are very "blendy". I would like contrast, so I have been thinking of black countertops - granite look, with some browns mixed in. But I am also wondering if I should think about a lighter counter, becuase I want the backsplash tiled in lighter tile, and I think the black counters, with lighter tile will look weird.

Anyone have this scenerio in their own kitchens? Does it look weird? Anyone care to share pics?

Thanks in Advance!
