You seem to be heading towards the cooler tones. That would make me think chrome, nickel, stainless steel, cooler metal tones.

Yes it is taj. the countertop is taj. the floor is taupe but on the cooler side. i would like a bit of warmth. i think i meant soft gold in my head 😅

I added 4 pics to my above comment

and I'll leave this one here

Google images of kitchens with your stone. You’ll find brass with a lot of white cabinets. You have chosen black cabinets. There are no hard and fast rules. Use whatever you like, but there are other ways to warm a cool space. Youre asking a lot of your faucet.

Consider Honey Bronze from Top Knobs, too (but get a sample!).

Polished nickel is great, but I’d also suggest matte black.

polished nickel is a warm finish and looks great with brushed brass

I would rec PN for faucet and brushed brass for handles/knobs, I have this

*** I have black cabinets, and leathered taj
