Should i use white or clear caulk for backsplash?

Putties and sealants come in a variety of colors, as well as neutral and clear white. There are two options for combining colors: you can try to find a caulking color that matches the materials you're working with, or use a putty that can be painted and the same color later on. Choose sealant or clear sealer if you don't want to worry about color matching. The general rule is to choose the caulking color that best matches the color of the granite.

If you combine the putty with a light color of the splash guard and you have dark granite, it may stick out and make the putty a focal point on the countertop. The most important thing to consider when using granite putty for countertops is that the sealant chosen is compatible with natural stone, to prevent it from staining with an unsuitable product. Also make sure that the color matches. You should choose a transparent, almond-shaped or similar colored putty for the countertops.

Granite may have a darker color, so choosing a white putty will leave obvious beaded lines that don't match around the countertops. Grout is most commonly used between tiles, for example, in a kitchen splash guard, and putty is used to fill spaces, such as the wall joint between the countertop and the splash guard.
