Where to buy Grey Tile Trims

I'm hoping someone is able to guide me with this one.
Having recently had a kitchen installed and floor tiled, I have decided to install a similar tile on the wall to create a continuous 4tile high splash back around the perimeter of my kitchen.
The tile I have is a slate grey matt finish, and I have chosen to put a brushed aluminium trim on the top of the tile to finish it off.
The problem lies where I get to the window and sill. I don't want to use the silver trim in this area as I think the contrasting multiple junctions will look tacky. I have been desperately been trying to find dark grey tile trim, but to no avail.
Lots of shops have black, however when offering up this tile to the black it has too much of a contrasts, making the trim look like a mistake. Can anyone help me find some appropriate trim?
I'm getting quite desperate, and the tiles have a square ground edge so I can't leave them butted, I have considered chamfering them, but as they are porcelain they are quite tough to cut, and I worried that the feathered edge , may become brittle.
A 9mm Dark Grey tile trim would be fantastic.

I'm pretty sure you can get grey and am pretty sure I have seen it in my local tile suppliers. You need to go to a good local independent tile shop. One that deals with the trade - not b & q. Wher are you based?Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0
