Kitchen Backsplash - Grout and Sealer questions

Hi everyone. I hope this is my LAST kitchen question for a long time. It's been over a year and I finally am getting a backsplash. I decided on Carrara 2x4s, and I wanted to ask about grout color - gray or white? I don't want the grout lines to be dark, I know that for sure. Something subtle is better suited for me. I also worry about the grout looking dirty, which is why I have been leaning towards gray. I've read through many old posts about grout with Carrara, but wanted to ask this question again. My perimeter counters are black soapstone, island is Carrara, white cabs.

Second, I assume I should have the 2x4s sealed? At what point in the process would this happen? I plan to hire someone to seal it since I have never sealed marble before. Can anyone explain this process to me? I've obsessed over the tile for this backsplash for so long that I completely forgot to research sealing and grout color until this moment. And my tiler comes today to start!!!

Thanks!!!
