I purchased these in two different colors (heirloom silver and soft iron) because I couldn't decide which would look better on my white cabinets, stainless appliances and dark stained island, but it was very difficult to choose because they both look gorgeous! I decided on the soft iron because the contrast was more striking. I wanted simple hardware with an antique look, since my home is 100 years old. They work perfectly! (And I'll be sending the other set back, even though they are lovely.)
