Need a quick opinion on this tile *PIC*

Do you guys think this will look decent with the cabinet color? We purchased 750 sq. ft of it yesterday, but now we're having second thoughts.... I didn't pick the tile up yet, so I can cancel and get a full refund if needed.... but I'm interested in your opinions... thanks!

Color is fine, but really busy. If you are doing granite or anything other than solid color counters, it will be a tough match.

I think the problem is not enough contrast... that's why I'm second guessing this color...

I cancelled the order. Needed Scrib's advice to make the call.

are you looking at marbles, granites, or any other stones? I think screenish also goes well with your kitchen cabins.
something like this?
costasmeralda

verde borgogona

after doing some little research..I think the natural stone tile goes the best with your kitchen. The lighter brown color goes the best with it..

^ good idea. We're probably going with slate. You're abosolutely right, we need LIGHT or dark to go with the medium color wood and trim.

reason I don't want to go light, tile was white before, so kinda want to go the opposite route.. also, space is quite large... would like to go darker for a cozier feel.... but wife has the final word.

Light will look dirtier quicker, so darker FTW

not really.. as long as you clean it once a week it shouldn't be a problem.

It matches too much. Don't match the colour of your cabinets, complement it.
