Choosing brushed brass cabinet pulls can be tricky—there are lots of “brushed brass” and “brushed gold” tones on the market, and not all of them look the same in your space. Below, we compare two popular finishes you’ll find at DoorCorner.com: Cosmas Brushed Brass and Diversa Brushed Brass. Both are beautiful—just slightly different—so you can match faucets, lighting, and other hardware with confidence.
| Feature | Cosmas Brushed Brass | Diversa Brushed Brass |
|---|---|---|
| Overall tone | Lighter, brighter, more “yellow” brass | Deeper, richer, more “gold” brass |
| Visual vibe | Fresh + lively; nods to classic polished brasses (without the polish) | Warm + luxe; closer to modern “brushed gold” faucet tones |
| Pairs well with | Light woods, crisp whites, black accents, two-tone cabinetry | White & dark cabinets, natural stone, brushed-gold faucets/fixtures |
| Great if you want | A brighter brass that pops without high gloss | A softer gold that coordinates with today’s “brushed gold” finishes |
Cosmas Brushed Brass leans to the lighter, brighter side of brushed brass. Customers often describe it as slightly more “yellow,” which gives a fresh, energetic look reminiscent of classic brass—just with a modern brushed surface instead of a mirror polish.
The Diversa Brushed Brass finish reads deeper and more golden. That richer gold tone tends to coordinate especially well with many of today’s popular “brushed gold” faucets and bathroom accessories from leading brands.
They’re closely related but not identical. “Brushed brass” often reads slightly lighter/yellower; “brushed gold” leans warmer and deeper. Always compare in your lighting.
In many cases, Diversa Brushed Brass aligns more closely with modern brushed-gold faucet tones. Still, test both to be sure.
Yes—keep undertones similar (warm with warm) and vary sheen or shape for a layered, intentional look.
With so many beautiful brass and gold options today, finding a match is absolutely possible—start with one sample of each, compare at home, and you’ll land on the perfect finish.
