I think any color would go. Maybe you would want to choose a color that will go with you cabinet door pulls, or a light fixture in the room? Unless those are getting changed out as well.

I think you re-using the sink is a great idea, saves money and if it is in good condition, is a valuable item in your kitchen!

You don't want to have the faucet similar in having it the color of the sink? If not, then stainless faucet would still go nicely if you have other stainless in the room as mentioned.

With a sink in off white, you have a lot of options. If you introduce copper, then you will find that you need to have more copper in the room to tie it in.

I would go as simple as I could, meaning not too many finishes, tie in your metals to be the same type coloring.

It is nice to get new counters! I am also choosing formica as my counter top material, economical and lasts a long time.

I say regular old silver would look best. It will match your pulls.
