I just did something similar and I went with limestone subway tiles for backsplash. Softened the look, not shiny and added some texture, but it's not busy. I love it and I used benjamin moores Monroe Bisque. It goes with a lot, but it's not gray :-(. People ask me about what I used all the time. Keep it simple if you can.

I don't like that gray either. Looks like you need a warm color. Why gray in the first place?

I wanted warm and my husband wanted grey. we tried it and obviously didn't work! just picked up 4 warm samples today to try including bleeker beige, alexandria beige, ashley grey and one more I can't recall name

Maybe you should pick the backsplash first, since wall color is endless. What are you using as a backsplash, tile?

More pics would help, esp of the dining area.

I was going to do a subway tile just a solid color. I have a hard time making decisions so I haven't picked a color yet since the wall color was throwing me off

Do you know the color of your cabinets? Sometimes there is a good history of successful color combos.

Are you painting or having to hire someone? Looks like the ceiling is white so that's good, and you won't have to paint the backsplash area, and the door frames, etc are also white, so painting shouldn't be hard at all. But get what you want this time, you are in this room a lot.

My design instructor said the most troubling thing in design is paint color! So, I have found that I buy a small sample can of two or three paints that I like and paint a sizable swatch on the walls (at least three sides) and live with it a couple of days - things looks different in daylight and evening. It's way cheaper in time and money.. Good luck!

When I look at the pic you have with the tile choices, it looks like your cabinets are a good match to the crisp linen tile, and I think the one right above it "urban putty" looks to go with the granite nicely. I would paint some sample boards of the paint colours you are considering, and also narrow it down to 2-3 tile choices. Then take some pics and post here. Pick the tile first,bit will be easier to adjust paint choices if none of them look right, rather than trying to find tile after you paint.

I used BM's Storm in my dining room (in a matte finish) and my guests frequently compliment me on it.

Revere Pewter is almost beige. I used it for my hallway and trim in two bedrooms and really like it.

If it were up to me, I'd go with Storm. It is a bit darker and closer to a true grey. Another thought is that your lighting might be effecting the perception of color. Look for a soft white in lights, most existing have a yellow tinge.

You can search cabico crema (your cabinet color) in Houzz photos for a few ideas.

Limestone is more porous than marble. It can be lovely but if you cook much I think it might be a mistake. Get a sample square and seal it (of course) then try some splatters of grease/chili/turmeric or whatever you've noticed is hard to wash off. Also, acids like lemon juice can leave marks.

Consider some color to brighten thing sup, maybe a soft blue or yellow. I have a blue kitchen that I love with cherry cabinets and off white trim.
