That is exactly what I have thought for a long time. I suppose it would not be possible to get a "bright" finish with polymers to match nickel, but matte colors are very attractive as they are. I have a nickel T grip on my Model 629 and a black one on my Model 60. You could not say the finishes exactly match but the contrast is pleasing to the eye.

There must be a better way.
