Help With Cabinet Pull Finish Selection - Honey Bronze or Matte Black?

I love Top Knobs Honey Bronze hardware finish but am having some concerns choosing this finish over the safer Matte Black finish. This is a new build and the lighting and plumbing fixtures have already been purchased. Lighting - sconces over window are a dark oil rubbed bronze. Pendants have dark ORB poles and opaque off-white shades. Faucets are Kohler ORB. Granite is Titanium Black with a lot of sparkle, warm tones, quartz seams, etc. Cabinets are SW Cornwall Slate. Vent hood will be SW Iron Ore. Backsplash tiles will be off white Zellige style with a coordinating green print tile in niche above stove (the Honey Bronze goes beautifully with this tile.) Will have stained wood shelves on either side of hood. Floors will be stained wood, medium dark color.


The matte black cabinet hardware will stand out well against the Cornwall Slate and will go with the other fixtures in the kitchen, but the Honey Bronze is warm and very pretty. It looks good with the cabinet paint color and goes with the sparkle in the granite (hard to see in the pictures due to the dust.)


Do you think it would be OK to go with the Honey bronze even though it is the only non-ORB metal (besides stainless range) in the kitchen. There will be a lot of cabinet/drawer pulls, including large appliance pulls for fridge, freezer, DW and some large pulls for larger drawers. Possibly bringing in some honey bronze accessories like mirror frames, picture frames, decorative items on shelves by range hood might help tie into the honey bronze cabinet pulls but is this enough? Is using the honey bronze pulls just too risky?


Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you and have a Happy New Year!
