I'm surprised your low iron splash back changed the colour so much, is it starfire? There are green and clear glass, but the thickness varies white the most. Trying to match your whites perfectly will always result in a slight variation, because the products different it's almost impossible. Very subtle tonal differences can be disguised if your splash back is enclosed or surrounded by joinery as the shadowing created allows for discrepancy. Otherwise, make colour difference intentional and find something that can coordinate and not copy the colour. Maybe mirror and remove colour from the equation

Hi Grace, Is this something like what you're looking for? If not, I'm not entirely sure where you'd find a gold sink. Good luck with your search!

Hey - have you considered porcelain? Its fairly new as a benchtop material but it is amazing. Virtually indistructable, looks amazing, and is environmentally friendly. It is pricey but doing something well first time around saves money in the long run!!!

perhaps a "D" style handle that is further out from the surface of the cabinets than the handle in your ideas book...there are many variations of size, decoration and colour to choose from...and my personal favourite is a slightly rounded shape that doesn't catch on clothes and bodies and is a handy place to hang a hand towel...
