John Whipple-no, the gap is not all the way across the top of the side splash. Tundra Finish Works-sorry for any confusion. My question is not dealing with paint; it is dealing with what is the best way to fill the gap at the top of a granite backsplash and side splash where it meets the wall and who is typically responsible for filling it. Joseph Corlett-I only found Polyseamseal in white or clear. See below: I think that I should use clear & then paint if needed. The only color matching caulk I found was a different brand that comes in sanded or unsanded and doesn't say if it is used for granite. See photo:

Looks great! I am the worst at picking tile and I think they all look great so go with your gut... I did the white on white look and it was so white I ended up doing grey grout to balance it out. I think a grey tile probably would have balanced the counter better but I fell in love with that white herringbone I ended up doing. I also picked a matte tile and kind of wish I had picked something with a glossier finish for some more sparkle. Your choices look like they will do that and have more dimension. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for your responses. I‘ve just gotten a few more photos sent to me. This time from more of a distance. They are duplicates. One with the overhead light in the kitchen tuned on = light above sink, under cabinet and ones without that light on. From what he was telling me, they tend to use that particular light in their kitchen more than the light from the proper light switch. I think that may be enhancing the “flaws” that they see. @joseph_corlett do you advise that they contact the installer to fill the hole, or should/can they do this themselves? I think its been about 16 days from initial install. @Sammie J Just got photos taken a bit further away. @Kelly Zamonski @User They were under the impression that a tile backsplash would further accentuate the uneven wall on that side. Luckily none of us noticed it until they moved the large item they have in that corner. The choice of GC is a bit iffy. Thats what I told them. Do you recommend simply leaving it alone at this point or finding another GC? It may just cause more time, money, and stress. I’m of the school of thought that it is what it is at this point. No further aggravation is needed for them Especially because of the potential cost. Like I said, most of these photos have the under cabinet light on and then off to show the contrast. They mainly use the under cabinet light which highlights the issues they see - well, we all saw. We all know nothing about remodels/updates or what to expect from them.

that's a poor caulking job. have them come back and redo it w/caulking in the same color as the quartz, not a bright white. You could also have them run a piece of molding across the top portion to hide that. but on the curved spots, have them clean out all the residue caulking and pick a grayish white that isn't so noticeable. this isn't a difficult job. they just rushed it. did you pay in full already? But once your hood is in, will you even see it?
