Are most still going with black? Thinking of silver this time around! Any pros/cons of either - I still wish there space gray!

Nothing matters less to me than the color of my computer is – at least, after the first few minutes after unboxing. That being said, the black definitely looks better, but I guarantee you that the first time a scratch appears on the case, the silver will hide it a LOT better! 
I'm contemplating Silver.
1. Apple doesn't ship a black charger yet it does with a black cable. Not really a dealbreaker tbh but just something I noticed it would be far down the list imo
2. Ports will show more wear with Space Black, that's my main concern.
3. Fingerprints is still noticeable even on the demo Apple Store units which they clean a lot...
Even though apple claims its fingerprint resistant it will still be more obvious due to the dark nature. I mean look at the keyboards already, That's why when I'm at home I use an external keyboard and mouse wireless to prolong the life of the keyboard.
4. Silver is just a timeless apple design look, like you know it's Apple.
5. #2, less likely to show wear and tear as it's original colour.
Basically personal preference, it's up to you. My reasons were just as above, I don't know if they'll apply to you but if they do then I'm glad it was some information.

If the choice had been silver or space grey, I think I’d have gone silver. But I went space black. It does look a bit similar to some Windows laptops we have here, but that doesn’t make it wrong.
no I agree, wish they had space gray! Silver looks as much as an hp also..
pros and cons of both for sure!
Having had PowerBooks and the first intel Macs I can not imagine having any other color then silver. Since the thicker form factor of the M1 makes me ultra nostalgic, feeling like a PowerBook from the future.
This does not apply to the previous gen.
Black reminds me to much of the first plastic intel MacBooks from the 2006 era.
Now the 16" with nano texture I do have 17" PowerBook vibes. It is truly satisfying.
Anyone?
