Polished nickel will look good, will stand out slightly more on the gray than brushed; brushed is a more understated look. I still like my brushed nickel on my gull white cabinets (dark counter, blue walls). Brushed brass is not dark, but would bring another color element into the room. I like the look with soft or off whites; it might depend on just what gray you have though, for it to work.

Lovely kitchen in the making but that light fixture for over the table is just too too much. Will you need pendants over the island?

@JAN MOYER Well the holes have been drilled! I showed ur diagram to the workets. I almost delayed them if it hadn't been for you & ( I already been in this trailer waiting to get back home for over a year and a half now) so I honestly couldn't of done this without all of your help ! Thank you for taking the time out of your life to help a complete stranger! The worker here is holding up the hardware here. You can see the cabinets better in this pic ( which I should of shown first ! ) Again I sincerely Thank you I greatly appreciate all of the help ! I hope it's ok since you didn't see the upper cabinets?!

Neither. ( Follow to the end, if you can ) The Brizo Odin in Stainless ( satin nickel ) is not boring, it works perfectly great with the s.s hardware and your s.s. appliances and you just stated you do not want a brass toned faucet. You want the brass tone in your lighting. You really don't need three finishes in the kitchen. ( exception at end of my post ) If you absolutely can't live with that? Do the chrome. Polished Nickel will be a pain and will take on a far warmer , greener cast you really don't want with the hardware and it isn't great with the brass you want in lighting, either. Also will spot far more. I don't love the knurled pull with the EDGE pull. ...sorry. Something sleeker - a closed end D pull would be better. Better yet is repeat the edge on the integrated appliances and pantry https://www.perigold.com/kitchen/pdp/alno-inc-tap-pull-18-center-to-center-appliance-pull-qal1975.html?piid=11295412 !8 inches, s.s Maybe you are thinking the kitchen is feeling a bit flat and cool? If that is the case....maybe a bit of black instead of brass in lighting and switch up the faucet to black ? Change the hardware to warm brass : ) Why? When the third finish in a kitchen IS black? It feels more intentional and at the same time less competitive among similar finishes. Perhaps warm brass on the cabinet hardware.......SS Appliances, and.....black for the faucet , or a black with just a dab of brass: ) A bit more black/brass in lighting where the combination is plentiful Brizo black w/luxe gold.... By now, you have figured out I do feel the kitchen might feel just a tad.....flat. Needing a little jolt of higher contrast: ) jmho.
