Hi teafor!

Just giving you a bump! I'm not quite at the backsplash stage yet, but soon...
As you may remember I have Delicatus White coming next Monday. When I look at my granite, I think it has some similarity to Bianco Ant. in some areas. So I am interested in the responses you get from your question.

I was thinking of a tumbled cremy white subway backsplash.

Hope you get a lot of feedback, and Good Luck!

Ok, rather than boring you again with a photo of my backsplash, I will suggest one that I really liked too.

It is by Mandala Tile, the SINU collection, in the color Stingray. The color looked unbelievable with the granite. Try to see it in person if you can. It is a taupe kind of color. I ended up painting my room this color, therefore, I changed my mind....and well the rest is history.

Follow this link, click on Products, then SINU, then you can see the colors and shapes available. (we were thinking of the 4x12 tiles)

beekeeperswife - what color/brand paint did you find to match the Stingray color tile?

jessrae, BM Pismo Dunes was pretty close and so is my current color which is mixed by my BM dealer, but it is from Valspar--Coastal Villa. I think the Pismo Dunes might have been closer, but I changed my mind at the last minute and went with this other color.

KA - How did your trip to the granite yard go? Did you find your slab? I agree that Delicatus and BA are cousins, if not siblings. Love the light color and the sparkles in both.

Bee - I could look at pics of your kitchen and new backsplash all day long and never be bored. I do like the stingray a lot and was wondering if there might be a color that would look good with BA, as you and DonnaKay both went white and redroze is pretty close to white with her Ann Sacks tile. I need to get a variety of samples, but some of my early ideas will clearly not go with the BA (which I totally love by the way -- it looks fabulous with the cherry. It's far and away the home-run feature so far). Anyway, I'll try to get a sample of the stingray. My paint is silver sage and I think it would go with that too.

teaforwendy - Could you post a photo of your kitchen? I'm putting in cherry cabinets with BA granite and struggling with the many paint (and backsplash) options. I'd love to see your silver sage with your granite and cabinets.

BTW - I had the same question a couple weeks ago and mairin posted a photo of her fabulous white onyx backsplash with BA

I'm also (going to be) a member of the BA club, and will be needing backsplash help in a month or so. Can't cope with thinking of that right now... So I'll be following this!

I just took some pics and will post tonight or tomorrow. Our kitchen/first floor remodel is still in process, so it's not a finished product yet. It's hard to see the silver sage, I may be able to get better pics in the daylight. Also my granite and cabinets look better in person than the photos are showing. Not much of a photographer, LOL.

teafor...I had already purchased my Delicatus White slabs some time ago and they were being held for me at the yard. The meeting with the fabricator went well. Thanks for asking! I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your kitchen:) You're remodel sounds like it's ahead of mine by a bit. Mine should be completed in 3 weeks or so. (Powder room has just been added on to the project, because we have left over granite!)

We are also going to go with BA or Delicatus- still trying to decide on the exact shade of espresso for the cabinets...the saga continues.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences and fantastic finds. Love the stingray tiles. I will definately need help choosing a paint color. Not my forte and will turn to everyone here for help.

Anyhow, your notes and suggestions are much appreciated!
