I love white subway tile so I'd go that route. It just looks so clean and simple.

I think because you have white cabinets and white ish counters I would go with a splash of color.
Subway tile is great but it's also very in right now which means it will be out at some point. Something to consider if this isn't your forever home.

I have a love/hate relationship with color...so while I would love to say a colored glass tile, my practical side would say white subway or pick a color from your countertop and use that on the backsplash, in tile form.

@raspberries: we have a light green/teal glass tile backsplash that I think would look great with your kitchen! I'll see if I can find a picture.

ETA: ugh, ok you can barely see the backsplash in this (mid-renovation) picture. The slightly greenish hue of the glass is a subtle way to bring in some color without it being like woahgreen!

I wouldn't do a color. You will get sick of it fast. Bring in color other ways. I would do white subway tile, or even glass grey subway tiles.

@raspberries: Lowes! But it was about two years ago, so I'm not sure if they still have it

It's actually fairly similar to this one, but ours is a mix of frosted and clear, instead of frosted and crackled (it looks like?) http://www.lowes.com/pd_282570-47603-GL05X2SWGEM_1z0z33v+1z1408a__?productId=4177109

I think our backsplash would look good in your kitchen. It is sort of a very soft grey/green glass and marble.

@Shutterbug: agree, sea foam green would look great @raspberries: kitchen.

also, I like the look of using the same material on the counter and the backsplash. My mom's kitchen was updated 4-5 years ago with my help. The counter and backsplash were both the same granite except for the stove area. She used a small square glass tile sized stone and we popped out a few randomly to place cored glassed tiles in it. Then to give it a finished look we used rounded stone trim, which butted up against the granite backsplash. The tan of the stone was found in the granite so that worked well. The colored glass tiles were chosen because of existing kitchen decor.

I like the idea of white or grey subway tiles or some kind of sea glass kinda tiles. I like things neutral!
