I have found that the descriptions of finishes can be misleading. I have seen antique brass, brushed brass, satin brass, champagne gold, brushed gold, antique gold ad Infinitum. And the pictures online don’t show the true colors. There are so many gradations! When you go see them in person and hold them next to each other, then you’ll know. I considered brushed bronze too but when I looked at them in person, most were darker than I’d realized and it wasn’t the look I was after. Whatever you pick, just make sure you can find matching stuff - lighting fixtures, toilet pull, shower hinges, grab bars, towel hook, etc.. All my stuff was purchased and is now awaiting installation (mainly Kohler vibrant brushed brass moderne shower fixtures, faucet handles, 3-light fixture & a sapphire Madeli vanity with brushed gold hardware that is close enough, but not exact match to Kohler) and my polished porcelain marble look tile is now being installed on the walls. I think it will come out really nice but it was very frustrating dealing with the hardware matching, which is why I finally went with mostly the Kohler stuff, even though sone of the pieces were higher priced than if I could have found closer matches to the hardware colors/shades/styles. My next headache will be the hardware for my frameless shower doors to match up with the Kohler stuff. The brushed brass is absolutely the look I wanted but it sure would have been easier to go with black or brushed nickel! More on reddit.com

You're trying to solve this with a chemical reaction when what you need is a physical reaction. You can achieve this by physically taking the bath faucet back to the store and buying one in the correct color. More on reddit.com
