We did polished calacatta backsplash with honed counters and it definitely goes. It actually make sense because the polished is actually good for stains not scratches and the honed is the reverse.

We did! We have honed calcatta countertops and a polished marble subway tile on the backsplash- at first I thought they should be the same but now, I love the contrast! There is a bit of shimmer in the backsplash that gives wonderful texture to the kitchen
