Daltile Perpetuo Brilliant White

Perpetuo Brilliant White at 1 1/2" x 8" puts you in subway territory, the size most kitchens default to, mostly because it works and the cuts are easy. A matte surface stays reasonably grippy wet and will not throw glare across the room. Porcelain absorbs almost no water, which is what lets it go into a shower, a mudroom or a covered porch without any fuss. Worth seeing in person in Mississauga or Barrie, because lighting changes tile more than people expect.
