Same here. My personal one is silver (2011) along with my work (2017), so I went with space gray this time around, mainly so I don't get them mixed up.
Got a tip for us?

My 12" MacBook is Space Grey and my iPhones and iPads are Space Grey, so guess what color I would choose for a new MacBook Pro?! Yep....Space Grey! 
Although I really like space grey, I went for classic silver, also because it is to be delivered 1 day sooner
My gf got a space grey mbp last year, which came with minimal faults in the grey coating and returned it for a new one, can't imagine going through that again
went for the caldigit dock as well, wich is also only available in silver

Is it silly to pick silver for my new MBP due to being able to get a brand new Magic Mouse and keyboard in silver for free?
Do like the space grey though

Yes, it is. I don't think anyone is judging you based on your MacBook Pro color choice. Get the one you like best.

I've got a Magic Mouse and keyboard but have hardly ever used them. If the same happens to you then the colour of the mouse and keyboard won't matter so I would get whatever colour MBP you like most.
Personal preference, and for me, I slapped a skin on it the bad boy so the color matters even less.
I have always liked silver until 2016. It seems too shiny for me. It is not the same color or matte finish as before then. Still a classic. Ymmv
Sorry if I wasn’t clear. Ideally I want space grey as the 13” 2018 MBP I bought and returned last week looked great in space grey so I was planning to get the 15” base in the same colour. However, I’ll need a keyboard and mouse as I will be using it in clamshell mode at home hooked up to a 4K monitor. I think having the Magic Mouse and keyboard in silver would look a little odd though with a space grey MBP so am umming and ahhing over it. I could buy the Magic Mouse and keyboard in space grey I suppose but seems a waste when I can get the silver versions for free.
If you go Silver, how will everyone tell you apart from (the horror!!!!!) those peasants with 2012 MBPs?
why not get a keyboard and mouse in space grey, they look much better than the silver ones.
I had a Silver 15 2017 MBP just because the Compu B shop i got it from last year didn't have the Space Gray in stock.
Now after having 3 failed keyboards on the 2017 one, Apple replaced mine with an i9 2018 Space Gray. :-D Love it! I was quite sick of silver since 2006)

“Free” from my brother who prefers a third party keyboard and Logitech MX Mouse for his 5k iMac so hasn’t opened the ones he got with it.
After having a silver 2015 I went with the space grey 2018. I use a BestSkinEver clear skin so I can see the cool color.
