Bumping this thread for you. You can pull out any color you want from that stone. Is there a color preference that you have? What is your surrounding cabinetry and floor leaning toward in terms of color? It is a higher-level granite with all that movement in the pattern, so it's definitely worth working around to make it look its best.

Looks like it could be Fantasy Brown... which depending on the stone yard you may see it labeled as a "soft" granite, marble or dolomite.

Thank you! Free research, that is what I thought it was. We currently have grey cabinetry, mother of pearl back splash and polished concrete floors. We are planing to add wood and a more modern backsplash. Trying to see if anyone was able to use this stone in a modern setting

There’s a huge thread with backsplash ideas to go with Fantasy Brown, here: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/2607689/calling-all-fantasy-brown-owners?n=686

Personally, I’d look for a solid color tile to match the blue/grey/green bit of the counter. You don’t want a busy backsplash with a busy counter. (On it’s own, I think mother-of-pearl is cool... but really dislike it with your counters.)

@Melissa Page, I’m totally with you on changing out the bs. Fantasy brown can be used in any type of design, modern, contemporary, whatever. I would use a glazed ceramic tile in an interesting shape if you want to make the space more current. At first glance, I’d consider a pale gray.

If you are “adding wood” with warmer tones, pull out the beiges in the stone.

We currently have it on four different counters with a multitude of backsplashes. The grey bothers me the least. I plan to stain the wood darker to an almost black stain. The blue glass tiles I plan to change out for a white longer subway tile and I think I will do the same in the kitchen and in the master bath with the glass/metal mosaic tile. Naturally my non design oriented husband thinks it all looks good 😂

I'm with your husband -- I think it all looks nice. Maybe the mosaic is a little busy with the busy countertop, but the other splashes look pretty good to me. I love the grey and the blue - might change the outlet covers to something that blends better with the blue splash. Is the wood you show walnut? I sure wouldn't stain that to almost black. It looks custom built and gorgeous...maybe pics from further away might give a better idea of things that I'm not seeing?

The general wisdom on these boards is to wait 6 months and live with your new home before you go changing things -- you may find that you go changing all the tile, and then realize that it was the countertop you didn't really care for and you should have started there, or what you really wanted was different colored cabinets. I get the impulse to re-do immediately, but I think if you wait and plan it out, you will be more satisfied with the final result.

I like the second (grey) and third (blue) pics. Hate the first. And the last... that tone of wood is pretty with the counter... but that texture would be awful for a backsplash. They should be easily cleanable, and that looks like it’d be a bear to clean well.

The blue tile has more of a green tinge to it that just seems a tad Off since the cut of slab in that room doesn’t have as much of it present in the veins. I like the idea of doing white clean backsplashes in all but the grey bathroom to really help the counters shine. There is way too much movement happening in the backsplashes and the counter and I don’t want one to compete with the other.

Don't put a busy, mosaic backsplash with a busy, high-movement counter. The two will fight each other. Pick a calm, consistent backsplash that will let the counter be the star.
