Will satin nickel hardware match colonial pine stain cabinets?

I am remodeling my kitchen and I need to purcharse hardware for the cabinets, the stain on the cabinets is a water based colonial pine, my appliances are stainless steel and the faucet with be stainless also. This is so confusing !!! Please help
my cabinets are oak

Is the wood pine? If so, pine does not go well with nickel hardware. Pine is more of a rustic look and nickel is more contemporary. I would paint the cabinets white and then ad the satin nickel hardware.
