6 years agoI don’t have a picture of the kitchen because the house is under construction I have a picture of Dallas white granite. The floors are all porcelain white I wanted a color to stand out but the granite has a lot of action already? Thank you

Desperately seeking backsplash help for light granite counter!
Comments (18)You ALL are totally awesome for helping (sorry if I sound like a teenager!) Great ideas and advice. You all are so right about the paint color--I can see it now. Thanks for taking the time to show me examples! (The existing paint is actually more of a gold- but looks yellow in certain spots and colors). I love those examples of the darker red backsplashes, boxerpups, with cabinets similar in color to mine. Red wouldn't match anything in my house, (I know you weren't suggesting that)but maybe a burgandy or maroon or rust would! Noobee- I can't get over how that darker backsplash you did (in the cut and paste you did over my kitchen photo) makes the cabinets and granite pop and ties it all together. I love it! I think that seems to be heading in the right direction--though perhaps the exact colors and pattern need tweaking. I love the look! Though there isn't any actual brown in the granite, some of the garnet does appear brown-here and there. Do you think I'd need to have gray in the backsplash to tie in with the granite if I went darker, with mixed colors, like that? Also, Noobee, how DID you do that cut and paste-is that a paint program that comes with windows or adobe photoshop by any chance? I'd love to try and play with that myself. I have been visiting a few tile shops, and even the salespeople there have been having a hard time finding the right solution for me. One lady who was working with me is even a trained interior designer. She was thinking darker would work, too, but was having a hard time finding just the right tile. So I really appreciate your suggestions....See MoreBest caulk for backsplash(limestone) / countertop(granite) joint?
Comments (2)Home Depot has a pretty good selection its not with caulk its with the grout, usually. Look at the big ends of the tube usually some has smeared and dried, there you can get a good idea of the final color. You should be able to get something that will go nicely. To keep it from smearing into the grout on the wall i put a strip of blue painters tape along the wall about 1/8 " away from the joint. I prefer thinner caulk lines you could go a little further away if you wanted a wider line....See MoreHelp Black Counters, White kitchen, What Stools! What Backsplash?

Comments (8)Thank you everyone who responded so far. I really appreciate it. I would really appreciate If anyone can also share some good subway tile examples that may go well in my kitchen. Also, I was thinking about getting a single quartz stone just to avoid the too many grout lines (May be white with some brown/grey vein). Do you think it will look good?...See MorePorter Edun
6 years agoThere are some purple tones.... this is a sample only and not your exact slab. Did you get a photo of your slab when you selected it? Since everything in the kitchen is white (floors and cabinets) you might keep it simple so your counter is the stand out. Glass in an option, but try to keep an open mind so it's not too sterile.
If you have a photo of your slab and not a sample provided from the store?? would be a lot more helpful.
Selecting a color from the granite you chose that is predominant, but not too dark would be a good good option. Based on this sample you may have a lot of different tones in your own kitchen depending on what you selected.
Not being able to see your slab... some options might be:

6 years agoI agree that it will be difficult to advise you upon an appropriate colour to use without a picture of your kitchen granite. However, Grey goes with almost anything and against Dallas (White) Granite a Grey Subway Style Tile will work perfectly as a backsplash.

6 years agoYou can get tile that stands out without adding a huge pop of color. With the floors, cabinets and countertops being white, I would avoid white but also avoid something that is overly distracting. I love using unique tile shapes! Here are some great options for your kitchen-
