Mixing different coloured handles in kitchen

Hi 👋
Just about to finalise kitchen design and having a wobble! First world problems I know but we have never had a new kitchen and I want it to be right!
We are having a navy island with a wooden worktop, the rest of the kitchen will be pale grey with white quartz. We were originally thinking brushed nickel handles for all units and tap, which will go with our sockets.
Now I’m thinking the nickel handles won’t go with the navy as well as brass (kitchen north facing and brass would warm things up and look nice with the blue and wooden worktop) so have been thinking of brass handles on the island (sockets will be hidden behind a microwave). Pendants above the island could be glass with brass instead of glass with chrome/nickel.
Do we need to do the same colour of handles throughout the kitchen? I’m not sure if brass handles will go with the pale grey.
I know I’m overthinking it 😖but any tips are welcome 😊

I think the brass would go well all round. You could try using brass D cup handles on the blue island, and smaller knobs on the grey cabinets, but both in the same brass material and range.

Here are a few photos showing duel coloured kitchens with brass handles to give you some ideas x

Thanks BambinoJune, so brass everywhere including tap and pendants....was going to go for cup handles on drawers and knobs on doors, but think that would work?!

Sounds lovely. Mixing like that is perfectly ok to do in my book

ask about durability of finish - and think finger traps and clothing hooks. Knobs are a bugger for the latter.
