A navy shaker island under a white shaker perimeter is the most-requested two-tone kitchen there is, and there is a good reason it keeps working: navy behaves like a neutral anchor rather than like a colour.
Deep navy is close enough to black in visual weight to ground a room, but it keeps a hue. That combination is unusually durable - it sits beside white, beside wood, and beside almost any counter, so a navy island does not have to be re-thought when the countertop changes.
Mid-tone blues are a stronger statement and a narrower one. They need the rest of the room to stay quiet, and they date faster when paired with another mid-tone rather than a neutral.
Blue on the island with a neutral perimeter is the lower-risk version and the easier one to live with. A fully blue kitchen works, but it wants daylight from more than one direction and a pale counter to keep it legible.
Brass is the pairing that does the most work - the warmth answers the cool in the blue, which is why that combination has stayed reliable rather than looking of its moment. Chrome and stainless are quieter and cooler.

Deep navy behaves more like a neutral than a colour - it anchors a room the way a dark grey would while keeping some warmth. Mid-tone blues carry more risk over time.
It is the most-requested two-tone arrangement here, and it holds because one half is a neutral and the other is an anchor. Two mid-tones together is what dates.
Brass or bronze in most rooms - the warmth balances the cool in the blue. Chrome and stainless work but leave the room cooler overall.
Yes - sample doors are at the Norcross showroom, and looking at one flat on your own floor at more than one time of day is the only reliable way to judge a finish.
