The cream, white, and light yellow colors that you're considering sound like they should all work well with that granite. What about a natural stone tile? Maybe a limestone? Something with a subtle texture and color variation. I love Verde Butterfly but it's quite lively with white/gray, red, and sometimes a bit of blue tone along with the green, so I wouldn't get too busy with backsplash, but that's jmho.

I was just hunting for a light gray glass on another post - wonder if this would work for your kitchen - or maybe larger glass pieces but not the mosaic. How about this one? it is a gray blend tile - I think the variation might play out nicely in your kitchen. But it might be too much with that gorgeous floor.

If you have any photos or links or names of classic, not too modern, not too rustic, tiles that you have used or would use for my Kashmir White granite I would love to see them. There is a thread with modern tiles, but I am not a modern girl!!!Thanks so much....

Since the ground of the stone has so much olive and it's such a spectacular stone with tons of movement and color; I think I'd choose a backsplash to compliment the overall tone. Right now I'm thinking a light olive color glass subway tile... maybe a 4x8. I have all my sites bookmarked on my home computer and I won't be home till early this evening. I'll see if I can find something I have in mind when I get home and have a chance.
