I think that is pretty, we have a similar one in our showroom.

It is a really subtle pattern and just adds a little bit more interest than a standard subway tile.

Counter has a fine pattern ...subtle but not simple like a solid shade. Herringbone does not work so well as it is another pattern. counter is warm / tile is cool. I might go for a shaped tile /avoid pattern , in a whitish shade....have you seen the shaped tiles :arabesque...long hex.....shell? Wall cabs look super cool shade of white. Must bring in tile samples and knowledge of llight bulb changes you can do also to make this all work . If you seek a tile pattern backsplash (mosaic ,basket weave ,herringbone ,chevron) stay in one color. Chevron might be better than herringbone.

Thank you for advice - cabinets are definitely warm not cool but may be hard to tell from pics. The combo looks good in person and counters are very subtle. Going out today to look at some other options. I'm drawn to herringbone moreso than chevron, dont know why. I lso like subway but see it everywhere and don't want to play too safe and be boring. Was thinking a soft white subway with light gray grout too...Thanks for your help!

Mixing quartz and marble doesn't always work out great. I'd go for a warm grey tile. Your countertops are subtle enough to do it in any pattern, herringbone might be a little trendy but backsplashes are easy enough to replace if its an issue later on for resale

I rarely like real and faux stone mixed and IMO herringbone is busy and I try to avoid tone os grout lines in kitchens . Why not choose a simple glass subway tile in the darker color from the counter lay it in a stacked pattern with matching grout and you could do a larger format tile like 3 x9

I dont like the look of stacked subway, but like the brick style...

I am drawn to herringbone for whatever reason and IMO i don't have a problem mixing materials, quartz counters with marble backsplash. I have one more day to look and decide before back splash job start - ugh

Herringbone is not timeless.

What is your favorite color? What colors are you drawn to? Timeless means doing what you love, not what everyone else is doing.

I have a marble herringbone backsplash with quartz counters (Silestone Lagoon.) We've been happy with it but your counters seem to have more movement so YMMV.

he tiles are from California Art Tile and they are 2 x 8. I don't have the exact color information but the cabinetry in this kitchen is bright white and the tile matches almost identically, so I would look for a bright tile with no cream or gray tones, just a solid white. I do not have the grout information either, as both the tile and grout were done through the homeowner, but our advice is always to get a sample chip of your cabinetry, your backsplash, and if you're able your countertop. Bring these to look at your grout colors and determine which one is best. You can always go to your kitchen designer or interior designer with questions but if you're doing it yourself this is the best way to make sure your colors will match up.
