It's the greyish looking color. I was contemplating the brighter blue but it looks brighter on the camera than it does in person so now I am not sure. I am having a really hard time with the kitchen because the the appliances are dark grey and stainless steel, the countertop and cabinets you see and the floor is terra cotta tile. If you don't like it can you offer suggestions please. Thanks

That is what I thought too. I think a blue might look the best but I have to be careful beause if it has to much of a gray undertone then that is what it is going to look like or if it is to blue it is going to look like a babies room and that is not what I want. The other color we were contemplating was rust. But then I think it might be to much organe since the floor is terra cotta.

Do you have a close up pic of the backsplash? It's hard to see from the pic you posted. Id go with the grey paint, I think the blue looks too bright.

Not nuts about it to be honest. I think it takes away from your amazing countertop!

Here is the close up of the tile. Now my other thought is maybe go with a classic white bevled edge subway tile or a marble mossic that is white with some light gray.

seeing the backsplash up close, I think the mosiac tile would look better.

I have a blue countertop and went with grey because I didn't want more blue. I have pictures in my album.

Her is a picture of the overall kitchen. We went to a tile place and I think we are going with a carerra marble subway tile and Natucket Fog for the walls. The guy at the tile place I should just forget about the floor and part of me agree's with him but the floor is a completely different color family so it is hard to ignore.
