The St Cecilia granite doesn't go well with the tiles backsplash. I erroneously had the backsplash coordinate more with the tile floors than the counter.
Masonry/Concrete dye/stain will permeate it nicely and it will never peel and can be scrubbed with no worries.
It comes in any color you wish and either in a transparent or a semi-opaque formula, depending on the brand.
It can be rolled, brushed, sprayed or sponged - as it's the consistency of stain. It will stain other things, so you'll need to mask off the new granite.
Hi Aimee, you can paint the tiles to a more coordinated color, this video should help

Hi Aimee, everyone gave you some really good ideas but I wanted to add that they make peel and stick decals for tile in case you do not want to put a lot of work into it.
Hello! I would consider painting it, A clean solid color might be helpful update.

I see that you have travertine tiles. They have a lot of unevenness .I would say remove it and install new ones or simply use at the beginning stick ons to see if you going to like it
I agree with Agnes here. A beautiful counter like that deserves complimentary tile and not just a cheap fix.
Isn't it brand new?
