Michael,
When I gutted the kitchen in our home here and re-did it, I had the granite countertop installed and no granite back splash either - my wife did not like it ... too much granite.
After about 3-4 months we found something we liked - copper slate tile. Goes well with the granite we have and makes a nice back splash. Of course, though, I again choose to install it on the diamond - something I swore I would never do again with a countertop or back splash because such a high percentage of pieces needed to be cut, but this one worked out that I could cut the copper slate tiles in half and one half went at top and the matching half went at the bottom directly below it. There was so much copper in the slate it was almost seemed like I was cutting copper with a wet saw.
