Hopefully what we are doing will help... We are getting a black granite (Diamond Black...like Black Galaxy only w/silver inclusions instead of copper & pink). But, our cabinets are cherry w/a mandarin stain & coffee glaze, so they're darker than yours. We had a similar debate in our house and we decided on brushed nickel faucets b/c we felt the ORB was too dark against the granite. As to other finishes...our pulls & knobs will be "Antique Iron" and the pendants brushed nickel. I was originally looking at black pulls & knobs but it was pointed out to me that the black is usually paint...and I do NOT want paint on my pulls/knobs (I had enough of paint w/our washed oak cabinets and the worn away paint!) I think you will be OK mixing finishes as long as you stick to two finishes (not counting appliance color). IMHO, too many finishes will look like everything was thrown together rather than planned. BUT...I lean toward being "matchy-matchy", so that may be my bias. HTH!

My friend has that and I've never thought it looked bad.

I think either would go.. but looks like I'm ODD Man Out...I vote the oil rubbed bronze... I think the decision should be ..Whichever faucet you really love in whichever finish...

Hard to say because an oil rubbed bronze finish can look very different when comparing different brands. Some are a nice brown and others can have a coppery look to them that gives them more of a 1980's look, which doesn't look as good.
