I'm an interior designer and live in a condo that we will outgrow in a couple of years, so that's what I'm doing for my backsplash (and the rest is painted a dark inky blue/black color (Benjamin Moore AF-565 Mysterious in the Aura collection). I think a 30" x 18" panel would be about $500. Feel free to email me with any questions. Great work, by the way, the kitchen looks gorgeous and not at all like you compromised on budget!

What a bold move - it totally works and looks very sophisticated.

OMG.. you and I are such on the same wavelength when it comes to style!!! I thought I was the only person who has a white (well, more like cream, but when I ordered it, it was supposed to be white??) couch, yet longs for deep, dark colors to match it (accented by a few lighter shades of blue)!!! Awesome.. I really like it. I love the contrast.. I think I'd probably go with the stainless like Christian said... since there's already so much white with the cabinets and accents..
