tile and backsplash choices driving me crazy

Ok I am going to be doing Nexus black brown mixed with some glass cabinets.
I have chose Okite quartz countertop that looks like marble. Colours are viens of blackish grey and some very light brown.

Its a small galley kitchen in a condo.

I can not decide what to do as tehre are so many options
a) found a tile that is very netural and light with a tad of the grey back in it looks very nice with the counters
b) take teh same tile have it cut for the backsplash and put in two strips of stainless mosaic
c) choose glass tile something in a neutral whitish or white with a slight blue tone
d) glass tile in something more dramatic like a mix of white, black
e0 something more punchy like a blue grey
f) something dark

It is driving me around the bend there are just so many choices.

Re: tile and backsplash choices driving me crazy

I like to offset the counter top material with a 4" backsplash and tile above that to match the backsplash. Very slick looking. You can see what I mean at this quartz website.
