Green Granite Counter w Green Backsplash?

Hello .... I recently purchased a new home and am in the process of making it "mine". I'm very fortunate the that PO's did a wonderful job remodeling, and there is very little real work I need to do. One thing though, the beautiful kitchen doesn't have a backsplash, and I want to add one. I'm not sure the name of my granite, but it is dark green with some black and burgundy, the overall impression is dark green. The walls are a neutral, cool, tan.


I don't want to have a lot going on in the kitchen, or add another color element. I added stained glass to my upper cabs, and want that to be the star. I also want my kitchen to be classic and timeless, but still interesting. The house is a Craftsman CA Bungalow, so I don't want to be "on trend".


Would a green tile backsplash work with green granite? When I google, it seems that most green granite counters have a tan/cream bs, but that seems kind of blah to me. But I'm not sure green on green is a good choice either


On to the pics!


This is my kitchen, listing photos, so with the PO's stuff. But the professional photos show the colors most accurately. I added stained glass to the upper cabinet and will be replacing the stove with a Bluestar.



Here is the new stained glass, sorry, lighting is awful!


Here are my tile choices, and close up of the granite

And then finally, I thought I could add some interest to the green on green by using an interesting shaped tile.

TIA!
