I have brown and mauve, granite counter tops, maple cabinets, black appliances, and hardwood floors. What color should I paint the walls?

I had to really think about the colours you already have in your kitchen. Have you thought about painting the walls a cream shade that compliments the brown in the counter, and the hardwood floor?
See if you can get sample tins in several shades of cream, and paint a 3'x4' rectangle in each of the shades of cream; prop the rectangles on the counter leaning against the area you would paint, and you should be able to get a good idea of which shade will look best in your kitchen with those colours.
Then move the rectangle to the floor to ceiling wall area, and see how that looks. Make sure to lean the rectangle long way so you get more coverage for a better idea of how the shade will look on your wall next to the floor/appliances/cabinetry.
The one colour I wouldn't paint the walls is mauve. That really is more of an accent colour and painting an entire wall or backsplash area even is just too much mauve.
