Thank you both so much! These both help me to decide that Biscuit it is! Rhome410 - Following your link to the other photos was especially helpful because I was also afraid I would lose some of the shine that I think is so pretty with a whiter white subway (if that makes sense), but not so! Weedyacres, the shot of your whole kitchen helped me to see that once I paint my cabinets to match it's going to look great! Thank you both so much! Now I have 1 more question....Rhonme410, It looks like your has a slightly grey grout to enhance the tile but I'm afraid doing that will compete too much with our granite so looking to match the tile as best as I can which is what it looks like you did Weedyacres. Can you tell me what grout color you chose & brand?

Kristina, try the bedrosians makoto line. they are matte, a slight variation and 2.5 X 10 https://www.bedrosians.com/en/product/detail/makoto-tile/?itemNo=DECMAKSHW2510M or the Cloe. exactly the size you want. they aren't completely matte, but not glossy either. the color varies a bit, but in the white or gray you shouldn't see a big diff https://www.bedrosians.com/en/product/detail/cloe-tile/?itemNo=DECCLOWHI28G no variation and completely matte, but these are 11" https://www.bedrosians.com/en/product/detail/clara-tile/?itemNo=100000799 https://www.bedrosians.com/en/product/detail/manhattan-mosaic/?itemNo=GLSMANCAS28G if you just want a plain matte white https://www.allmodern.com/wall-decor-mirrors/pdp/hull-soho-2-x-8-porcelain-subway-tile-a000841710.html glazed brick? https://www.tilebar.com/sample-cadenza-salt-cellar-2x9-clay-ceramic-subway-tile-for-wall.html 3x9 matte https://www.tilebar.com/kiln-white-3x9-matte-porcelain-tile.html or they do have a vintage matte clay tile, 2x9 https://www.tilebar.com/cadenza-stroke-vintage-white-matte-2x9-clay-tile.html https://www.tilebar.com/bayou-white-3x12-ceramic-tile.html These are on sale/closeout https://www.tilebar.com/calloway-white-3x10-matte-ceramic-tile.html tilebar has 5 samples for $5. order some of theirs

Jinx, Ha, The countertop in the first one on the island is exactly the same, interesting that not on the main countertop adjacent to the backsplash. And, second picture going up the wall. I would definitely of considered if it weren't 5 times the cost of tile :) And, thanks, I need to keep reminding my self this is fun, haha. and not exhausting for fear of making the wrong decision. I came upon another person this morning who is actually tearing out her brandnew backsplash (you may have been on that post) because once installed didn't like it. I think I do like the hexagon more, because it is a little (without different grout:) tiny bit more interesting than subway. I used to love subway, I still do, especially if I did it herring bone, haha. Oh well, something will happen soon-ish ;)

Try The Pink Stuff from Amazon. I have had great success with it on multiple surfaces including my bathroom tile.
