Gray and white shades are one of the best color combinations if the aim is to evoke a sense of casualness and timelessness.

The incorporation of marble in its tile version with a long and slim shape offers a complete and unified look. In that sense, these two elements complement each other, while gray countertops add a smooth finish.

Marble Color Options for Gray Countertops
White, gray, black, light cream and even brown marble backsplashes can be combined with gray countertops. If the aim is to lighten up the kitchen or add a sense of warmth, white, light cream, and brown could make a drastic change. By contrast, gray and black marble bring in a sense of edginess and moody look, which is perfect for those preferring dark and domineering color schemes.
White Marble Backsplash With Gray Countertops
When two neutral colors such as white and gray come together, nothing can stop you. This couple is great at achieving a timeless look that instills calmness and serenity in any kitchen.

As you can see here, the pure white marble tiles are laid in a diamond pattern, creating a visually striking backdrop. To further interest this look, a charcoal grout color is used. While the white shaker cabinets flawlessly complete the bright appeal of the tiles, the light gray countertops and black cabinet hardware enhance visual interest by adding much-needed contrast.
Is marble tile OK for the kitchen backsplash?
Marble tile backsplashes make great additions to any kitchen design, be it contemporary, modern, farmhouse, transitional, or traditional. Thanks to their availability in multiple color options, polished and honed finishes, size formats, and design possibilities, they allow homeowners to achieve any look they aim for. Plus, their unique veins that are almost hard to imitate -even though today’s market offers marble-look quartz and porcelain tiles- exude elegance and bring an upscale feel.
And in terms of functionality, marble tile backsplashes, again, come with multiple benefits. They are durable and heat-resistant. But the only disadvantage is that they require regular sealing and cleaning because of their porous nature. Yet, as long as they are maintained properly, you can keep the same marble tile backsplash for a lifetime. Thus, from that perspective, it is worth its more expensive prices (when compared to its counterparts on the market).
ID# 187005 – Product BA631613 – Modern Gray Marble Chevron Mosaic Backsplash Tile
Marble Backsplash with Gray Countertops and White Cabinets
The ubiquitous presence of marble in this contemporary kitchen draws attention to the austere and purest form of this natural stone. Used as a countertop and backsplash this gray marble creates a continuous design, while the wood floating shelves envelop tiles for a change. The marble tiles are laid in a chevron pattern to create a visually striking backdrop. Overall, the final product is more than visually satisfying, ensuring longevity and timelessness.
Should the backsplash and countertop be the same color?
The backsplash and countertop could be the same color, but it is not a rule of thumb. Depending on the look you aim for, you can go with contrasting colors ( white for countertops and black for backsplashes or vice versa) and matching colors. Butcher block countertops also go with any color backsplash, channeling warmth and coziness. But if you are looking for something extremely durable, stainless-steel countertops are popular in contemporary and industrial kitchens and can match any backsplash, including marble.
ID# 187006 – Product BA62046 – Glossy White Glass & Marble Diamond Mosaic Tile
Natural Wood Cabinets with Glossy White Backsplash
Wouldn’t you like to make a change and give up on all-white cabinets and try something else? This modern-traditional kitchen, for example, employs dark wood shaker joinery that looks as if they have just been plucked from nature. With the integration of the white marble backsplash, the design is taken to another level, exuding elegance and opulence. The diamond pattern of the backsplash tiles makes this mosaic more visible and visually striking. The polished gray granite countertops provide a hygienic and extremely durable benchtop for kitchen users while adding extra glam and a sense of contrast to the marble.
Should your backsplash be lighter or darker than your countertop?
It could be both. But if you want your kitchen background to bring more depth, then you can keep the backsplash darker than the countertops. On the other hand, keeping countertops darker provides an anchor for a lighter backsplash. But what is more important, when making a decision, you can also consider the cabinet color and focus on creating a well-balanced look and color coordination.
In addition to those, you can also take notice of how much natural light your kitchen receives during the day, whether your cabinets are located near the windows, and how much they benefit from streaming lights. For example, if your kitchen doesn’t receive enough sunlight, you can keep the backsplash and countertops lighter to provide a safe and efficient working space.
Gray Marble Backsplash with Gray Countertops
Gray-on-gray is almost as popular as white-on-white. Especially if you like seamless and well-integrated looks you can even book-match your countertops with your backsplash. And to accompany this gray-on-gray combination, you can either go with white or black cabinets. It depends on what kind of look you aim for. Surely, the oxidized metal cabinets and timber cabinets could also work well with a gray backsplash and gray countertops. Apart from those, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that this gray-on-gray looks extra great in contemporary, industrial, and rustic kitchens. And with a few personal touches, you can make this neutral color combination one hundred percent yours.
ID# 187008 – Product BA1034 – Modern Marble Subway Backsplash Tile
Gray Marble Subway Backsplash with Gray Countertops
The gray subway tile backsplash harmonizes perfectly with the Silestone gray countertops and the sleek stainless-steel appliances in this transitional kitchen. Like many others, this kitchen also uses a typical modern touch with small subway tiles laid in an offset pattern. The black kitchen cabinets make a statement, anchoring the dramatic neutral color scheme of the kitchen. Overall, this kitchen integrates every corner into the design, making the space more utilitarian for kitchen users.
How much does it cost to install a marble backsplash?
The prices to install a marble backsplash are dependent on various factors such as the type of marble, its format and design pattern. For example, marble subway tiles when laid in a herringbone pattern cost a bit more due to the intricate and time-consuming pattern of herringbone. And adding to all those factors just mentioned are also the labor costs including the removal of old backsplash, tile cutting, finishing, and installation. Taking all the expenses into consideration, typically the average cost to install a marble backsplash ranges between $900–$3,500. And per square foot, the prices start at 12 USD, reaching up to 300 USD.
Gray Countertop Materials
Quartz, granite, laminate, marble, and stainless steel are some of the most popular gray countertop materials that come in a wide range of prices and have multiple aesthetic and functional benefits. If you love natural stone looks, you can consider granite and marble gray countertops. For engineered ones, quartz and laminate would serve as alternatives. And of course, for something modern with unparalleled durability, a stainless-steel backsplash would satisfy you more than enough.
Marble Backsplash with Gray Marble Countertops
If you are after a luxurious look, combine marble backsplash with a gray marble countertop that will ooze opulence together. You can either book-match them or rather choose something complementary. For example, while one of the marble installations has feathery and delicate veins, the other one could be a bit bolder. As for the colors, a white marble backsplash goes great with white and gray, but if you want something edgier and stronger, you can also go with a black marble backsplash for gray countertops.

White Farmhouse Kitchen with Marble Accents
This white-dominated farmhouse kitchen gains a luxurious elegance with the addition of the multicolor marble subway tile backsplash.

Other than those, the tan cabinet hardware punctuates the cabinets and the space along with the white farmhouse sink.
Should marble backsplash be sealed?
A marble backsplash has to be sealed annually or even better every 6 months to protect it against etching, staining and scratching. The sealed surface repels the food splatters, preventing them from seeping through the pores of the natural stone. This, in turn, helps marble backsplash to keep its best version and live up to its full potential. It is even said that as long as a marble backsplash is sealed and maintained properly, it can even outlive your home.

The same marble stone is also used for the countertops and floating shelves to create a continuous look. This benchtop’s slim profile gives the white upper and base cabinets a very gentle visual break, while the marble backsplash makes a statement and adds movement to the background with its soul-soothing delicate veins.

ID# 187014 – Product BA1012 – Modern White Glass & Marble Mosaic Backsplash Tile
Glossy White Cabinets with Granite Countertops
There is no doubt that marble tiles are beautiful. But what about mixing this precious stone with other materials? Thanks to the versatility of the white marble tiles, they can be a great pair for a variety of materials from glass to metal. In this transitional kitchen, the white marble tiles are paired with glossy glass tiles, creating an eye-catching mosaic pattern. The white flat-panel cabinets complement the bright and fresh appeal of the tiles with their glossy finish. Complementing the dark gray granite countertops is quite an impressive sharp contrast very much evident here. Overall, this kitchen feels clutter-free and clean with a designer look.
What countertop goes well with marble backsplash?
Quartz, soapstone, laminate, marble, and granite countertops go well with marble backsplashes. But it is important to keep in mind not to use different bold patterned materials together. For example, if you have a Calacatta marble backsplash with pronounced patterns and match it with a busy-patterned granite backsplash, that would feel too much in the long term. Thus, it is important to utilize matching or even book-matching countertops. This especially works great with marble backsplashes. Doing so gives you a seamless look (if you have a marble slab backsplash).
Apart from those, butcher block countertops could be another option. Mixing materials and shades is welcome and practiced by many designers. Plus, the juxtaposition of different materials achieves a high level of sophistication and ensures diversity with a more natural look.
But if you want something more metal rather than natural, you can consider stainless-steel countertops. They bring unparalleled durability and heat resistance with a long lifespan without requiring complex cleaning routines. Additionally, they don’t harbor bacteria thanks to their pore-free and hard surface.
In terms of color, which countertop goes well with a marble backsplash depends on the color of your marble. But to play safe, you can just stick to white, gray, and black countertops. If you stay loyal to neutral shades, in case you need to change your backsplash at some point, you won’t have to worry about whether your countertops match the backsplash or not.
Marble Backsplash with Gray Laminate Countertops
Long gone are those days when laminate countertops scratched easily and looked outdated. With improved technology, today, laminate countertops have better durability, better edging techniques (bevels, bullnoses, and ogees- just like granite countertops), and increased aesthetic qualities, even mirroring wood and stone patterns deftly. By some designers, laminate countertops are even likened to a chameleon that can adjust to the surrounding design easily just like a marble backsplash does.
All in all, based on all those improved qualities, laminate countertops have been creeping back into our kitchens and our homes as more preferable and reliable materials. As such, nowadays you have another alternative to natural stone and quartz countertops, coming at affordable prices and standing out as budget-friendly options. As for their union with a marble backsplash, since both materials can adjust themselves to any space and design thanks to their multiple patterns, color, and design options, you can just push the boundaries and your imagination with these two materials.
