What countertop goes with a marble backsplash?

The color of your countertop is one of the most important decisions that will affect the overall look. You can pair your marble backsplash with white, gray, or black countertops. This way you can complement the veining of your marble. Also, using the same material for both backsplash and countertop is a popular way. Matching your marble backsplash with a marble countertop will provide a completed look. On the other hand, you can go with other natural stones like granite, soapstone or give a marble effect with a quartz countertop.
