Light, definitely! Beautiful kitchen and love the cabinet color

depends on the vibe you’re going for. i prefer the dark, but it does make the kitchen look smaller and cozier. I also feel like dark would benefit from a sash or something over the back door that is darker and darker everything else to make it work better, and the light kinda requires no further effort.
but i personally feel like while the light makes it look bigger, it also makes it look more bland and sterile and takes away any kind of coziness or hominess the brick gives.

Dark: it matches the color of the cabinets better.

Light color is better but find a different one- too close to the counter top pattern it doesn’t look well put together

Are you keeping the counters? If so, dark. To me the light is nicer but it clashes with the counters.

Light, but not that one. Your counters are creamy and the tile is a cool toned white. You need a creamier white.

Light, no question.

I like both but I think lighter would look better. But that bright white is maybe too white. I think more of a cream color would look better. The white backsplash with the cream countertop looks off

Both options are too cool. You need something warmer to match the cabinets and countertops.

The lighter but really neither of these are a great choice

Definitely the dark brick looks best! You may be able to find that same brick a shade lighter

Why not go with a blue a shade lighter than your blue cabinets and white grout. I love my blue tiles.

I prefer a dark backsplash but I don’t think that dark one is your best option.
