My least favorite is the pure white. Granite never has pure white in it and it's not a good tone with the red of cherry. I like the cream tile if you want a neutral. You can see that the wall color works with the granite.

Your granite has some warm, gold tones, and gold always dominates grays in a granite. Of the taupe colors, the second one seems to have a warmer tone than the first one. Those colors look really nice grouted in cream.

Everything localeater said.

like the white as well....because of what sara said and it looks far better with cherry.

Localeater - the “yellow” is really a creamy off-white As mayflower said, it is pretty much the color of the primed wall. The floor is oak, natural finish.

Mayflowers - the “gold” you see is really more of a light brown. Although I guess that could read gold too, I see it more as a brown.

While I do like the picture with the different colored grout, we will likely grout to match the tile. The granite is much prettier than you can get from the photo, and I want to let it stand out more than call attention to the backsplash.

I like the grays best with the counter but I am leaning against them just because they do blend so much with the counter. I don’t want it to look like the counter just runs into the wall. I don’t know, it is hard. I was hoping for one clear winner when I posted!

I like the 2 middle tiles in the first two pictures and the top 2 in the third picture. The white looks too harsh to me and doesn't blend with any of the finishes. The gray (far left and bottom right tile) also looks to be a cool hue that doesn't blend well.

#2 in the first pic & the top right in the last pic. Hopefully that's the same tile!
