Numerar dark grey with Sorbo dark grey

I think I'm going to use Nexus birch base cabs with the numerar dark grey countertops with the plywood looking edge, not aluminum. We have a couple of wall cabinets and were thinking of using the Sorbo dark grey with those birch little drawers underneath them (can't remember what they're called-- I saw them used in the catalog). I'm curious to know if anyone has seen these two greys near each other. Do they go together? If anyone's used them in the same space, I would appreciate a picture. I need to know if we need to expand the budget to include a solid wood countertop instead.

Thanks for the advice.

Re: Numerar dark grey with Sorbo dark grey

IMHO , it may be dark gray overload, as the grays are pretty similar. Natural wood would work better in bringing some emphasis to the trims.

Have you considered the Pronomen line instead? It's thinner than the Numerar countertops, but works just as fine, and is at a lower price poit.

Re: Numerar dark grey with Sorbo dark grey

I'm not worried about too much grey. Our exposed structure will be painted dark grey as well and we have very few upper cabinets. Everything else in the room is super bright. We have windows completely around the space on three sides. I just want to know if the two greys go together at all. I just don't want any clashing. It looks as if the sorbo grey is darker than the countertops. Can anyone let me know? I'm 8 hours away from the closest IKEA and the countertop is one thing we just can't order a sample of.
