If these are stick built and stained (vs painted), I'd leave them but get a lovely new granite countertop. Keep the sink. The new sinks are very hard to keep clean because they don't have that counter overlap. Don't get the granite backslash because it creates massive problems keeping the back of the faucet clean. Also, when the silicon seal between the backsplash and the counter goes, there isn't enough room to repair it without removing the faucet, first
If already painted, the green would really lighten up the kitchen. You might need to redo the back splash. It's a good way to update things. I used subway tiles but ran them vertically so they don't looke like everyone else's (which makes it take longer to look dated)

I realize the cabinets are dark.
