Should backsplash be lighter or darker than countertop?

The design should be used to balance out the light and dark shades of the other elements, so if you have light cabinets and countertops, you may want to choose a dark backsplash to bring more depth to the kitchen. If you have very dark cabinets or countertops, a light backsplash will help the kitchen feel fresh.
Whether you want to create an all-white kitchen or highlights your backsplash, there are plenty of materials that you can use for your backsplash. Marble, glass, ceramic, and metal backsplashes are the most popular and best kitchen backsplash for white cabinets.
Clean and straight lines and neutral color schemes which are the backbones of a modern style for kitchen backsplashes stand out in 2022 trends. You can use classic subway tiles in a stacked layout to give a more modernized vibe. Geometrical tiles like hexagons or triangles are also perfect to create a modern appeal!

Should your backsplash match your countertop?

Matching or Contrasting Tops and Walls Complex or colorful backsplashes go best with solid countertops. Likewise, bold patterned countertops work best with backsplashes that have a subdued uniform color palette. “If everything is a similar shade, we recommend contrasting the backsplash,” Kelly says.
