Even two different grades of stainless will show up different!
The nickel silver will begin to oxidize VERY quickly and the pins will show up like it doesn't even belong there.
However, don't let that discourage you!
everything doesn't have to blend in and be perfect to be acceptable.
Sometimes distinct contrast in materials is a GOOD thing!
