This might be weird but will Nordic Oak go with off black leather? What do you think?

Mine was spec'd like that when I got it but it never looked right with the dark interior. I changed to the silver facia which is much better in my opinion.

Sort of thought it was a beige leather territory. Oh well...

I'd say yes... But I would actually rub it down and die it darker... Maybe even with a dark varnish.
