What would be the best countertop and tile backsplash for this kitchen

I am looking for a quartz countertop with a white background for this kitchen and tile backsplash. Budget only allows for quartz countertop and tile as the backsplash - unfortunately I cannot bring the countertop up as the backsplash. I understand that marble countertop is preferred by the community but please do not suggest that as it is not helpful for me, the marble is much more expensive. I have asked for quotes in many places. Would anyone have a suggestion as to which quartz countertop would look best in this kitchen? and what for the backsplash? I am open to marble/porcelain/ceramic material for the backsplash and it can be large format tiles size 48x48, but no bigger.
The wall cabinet doors are white and the floor is wooden similar color to the base cabinets. The windows are far from the kitchen so no natural light shines in the kitchen, but there are 5 recessed lights in the kitchen, as well as under cabinet lighting. Unfortunately I do not have the luxury of waiting until the lights are installed to decide my counter/backsplash as the electrician only wants to come once to do all his work, after the countertop and backsplash is already installed. I’m thinking the countertop in the photo below but not sure if that would be best, maybe something with longer veins?

Appliances are stainless steel as well as the sink, but hardware and faucet will be brass. Hardware in the photo attached is Top Knobs Honey Bronze.

Appreciate any advice!

Thank you
