What color pendant lighting in kitchen?

My kitchen is white and gray with stainless faucets and brushed nickel hardware.
We have a peninsula and I'm trying to find pendant lights to hang over it but everything I like only comes in brass or black metal.
What are the rules for mixing metals in a kitchen?
Can I do it or do I need to find only silver-colored fixtures?
Thank you!

Kitchen wall paint color? Pendant lights?
Comments (45)Thank you SO much flashpolkadot, megs1030, and hu1967910! To answer your question, flashpolkadot, we tried all of the light colors including Sutton and Lato! If my memory serves, Sutton was more rustic and had a beige/gray undertone. It also had white coming through all of the grain. Lato was more modern and had more of a consistent color throughout, which is what we were looking for, but it was too light (Almost a white-ish, and we have 4 dogs which include a black lab and feared her black hair would stand out terribly). Soho was perfect for us! I agree that Flooret is hands down the best LVF on the market, but so many people don’t even know about it because it’s not sold in stores! It’s so hard to choose, so I don’t envy you! But if it helps at all, you CAN NOT go wrong with soho! I don’t know the style you’re going for, but I think soho would be best for mid-century, beachy, or clean and modern. However, I must say I own a lot of antiques and I love how they look with the soho. Be sure to share photos of whatever you have chosen after your floors are done!...See Morekitchen lighting pot lights, under cabinet lighting, pendant lights
Comments (21)The type of lighting that is typically on its own switch includes pendant lights and over sink lights. This allows for more control over the lighting in specific areas of the kitchen. In terms of combining lights, you can consider combining the under cabinet lighting with the pot lights to provide overall ambient lighting in the kitchen. The pendant lights over the seated counter can be combined with the over sink light to create a focused task lighting area for food preparation or other activities at the counter. For the room size of 10'x16', having 6 pot lights should provide adequate lighting coverage. For outlet locations, it is recommended to have outlets installed along the countertops for convenient use of small appliances. Additionally, consider adding outlets near the seated counter for charging devices or using small appliances while seated. Be sure to follow local electrical codes and regulations when determining outlet locations....See MoreWhat size pendant lights over 9x3' kitchen island?
Comments (1)Kelley - you’ll probably get lots of input here :) - my island is 5x10 (so a bit wider and a tad bit longer) but my pendants are “tiny” - but they’re our style (modern) and I’m sure some would say they’re too small. I say pick what you like!...See MoreWhat color pendant lights over island
Comments (2)I agree with Maureen - I would wait - FWIW I am not sure how I would feel about the blue light coming the fixture - I would want to see it in a showroom so I could evaluate the quality of the light, pendants are often workhorses in the kitchen - I personally love the ceramic/bone china fixtures out there -the light is lovely...See MoreB K
