I think you'll be looking for less pattern but something with flecks of tan and light gray, probably manmade, light in color, unless you paint cabinets, even if it's just the uppers. Do only the countertop, then add a striking tile backsplash. Most stores have a design person available. Change old lightbulbs for LED warm white for better overall lighting. Instead of the gray stools, add an accent color, mint green, emerald, red, turquoise, etc...whatever goes with your house. Have fun!

Concrete countertops in a light gray
I think it look beautiful as it is but if you want a pop of color why don't you do something with your stools? I bet it would be cheaper unless your countertop needs to be replaced. Also I cannot tell from the picture but Lowes or Home Depot now sells lighting that can be very easily installed underneath your cabinets which would really brighten your kitchen up.
Your kitchen is industrial theme right and with your floor and counter tops those do pare well together, I think a off white paint along back splash and over the cuboarFS would use a light gray paint to add contrast, and add spot lighting under the counters. The stool seem to be to large and are bar stool size and the end no back bar stool you can omit one there, looks out of place. If it’s not in your budget for new stools then I would spray paint them in a brown tone to match the cupboards and add a pinstripe gray and white fabric to the seats because the medal just draws to much attention to them.

I think the counter tops look fine, have you considered painting the cabinets?
You"re correct, you need color on the counters. A red would look great with floor, cabinets & backsplash. I'd go with a cool red, one with a blue undertone. Do you have any more backsplash tile to finish the splash to bottom of cabinets? If not, add a hammered stainless to blend with appliances etc. You may even find sheets of the stainless with self stick backing!
