I have a similar problem. I moved into a home with Taj Mahal quartzite, need to paint cabinets and picked white dove but want to have accent color on the island. My backsplash is an ivory glass tile which looks pretty minty green. Any moody blue to try and bring some blue into the room? I was looking at trout gray or wolf gray. Will this look terrible? Also I’m thinking satin bronze pulls to bring out the gold in the Taj Mahal.

I think the paint color will depend on which shade is your Taj Mahal. Some are white and some are cream and others are a beige with hint of green tint to the color. I would get a few swatches of pain that you like and see what might work. There are some lovely neutral paint colors that might work great with the blue light fixtures and taj counters. Do you like Blue? Gray? Greige? Beige? Wish by Benjamin Moore (counters looks similar to Taj Mahal) Other Grays that might be similar to Wish Citrine Benjamin more above looks like a paint below. Taj Mahal stone below Collingwood gray BM below TM counters but I am not sure the paint color Palace pearl BM Looks like Palace Pearl BM or Urban Midst by Behr

I have travertine floors, though not in my kitchen. They have a lot of pattern and several colors, though mine do not have a pink hue that some travertine has. You have 2 islands and a bar and travertine floors and outer cabinets in White Dove. Now you are adding Taj Mahal--a dramatic stone--and a second color of cabinets. That is a whole lot going on. Are you sure? While I think Taj Mahal is beautiful, I am not sure how it will look with travertine floors. Can you post a photo of your current kitchen? Those counters will be very expensive.

We used BM White Dove In different sheens on the walls and woodwork to complement the polished TM Counters (but we have natural wood cabs). Our kitchen has north facing windows with lots of green trees. We compensated for the low light with 3000K (the warm-ish colored not the blue-ish colored) LED undercab and in cab lighting and sconces etc. The updated kitchen doesn’t seem dark or gray now which I was concerned about. I would definitely wait until you have the cabs installed, the counter in and some of the lighting wired in before choosing the backsplash. I was very surprised at how my original white tile choices didn’t do a thing for my counters and cabinets. good luck!
