Approx. 75/25% so far. Majority of the people still opt for a black bezel.
Some very interesting reasoning i've come across in this thread so far

I wasn't aware that Apple offers a gold bezel.
It's ridiculous how many people are posting about the color of the back plate when this thread is about the bezel.
Tried a 6Plus in Gold. I like a seamless/uniform transition from screen to bezel. The white bezel just seems to shrink the screen to me.
OCD I guess.

Yet, you don't offer your own opinion on the bezel color/thread topic, only to complain about other forum members being off topic? Threads commonly go off topic and branch off into different tangents. It's happens.
On Topic: As I previously stated on page 2 in this thread, I actually prefer the white bezel compared to the black. I like the cleaner look of the white and preferably it matches well with my liking for the Silver aluminum backing.
I'm thinking about ging silver for my 10.5 Pro. The retro Apple look, hehe. Remember when black used to be a premium color on Apple products?
Went for black I got a silver 6s and I've reggretted it since launch day.
As others have said I find the white bezels look yellow and dirty when you have a white screen.

I think the type of people that read the forums know very well what color bezel corresponds with the back color options.
For some reason I want my iPad to have the classic white bezel because I still think of that color when I think Apple - since the iPod. That being said I have a matte black iPhone.
Black because all my devices are black. It simply looks better with on screen media.
Exactly what I was going to type, word for word.
I think the white bezel looks cool, but it's distracting when viewing content. I have a black iPhone for personal use, and a white one for work. That was all I needed to confirm my feelings on the matter.
Black and Space Grey combination looked lifeless to me.I always perfer White front.

Yes, many of us who prefer black bezels APPRECIATE that it looks lifeless. The "star" of the experience is the content. The iPad itself fades into the background.
I always get black. I feel the screen gets lost and feels smaller in the white bezel. It's not a fashion decision like a car color to me, just practical based on my perception of the screen wrapped in each color.

This ^^^^ I've tried white bezels time and again, I always go back to black. Easier on my eyes too.

This is one of the more amazing posts I've ever read. Just got off the phone with someone who's an ER nurse, a pal who finally managed to save up enough dough for an iPhone and awhile back got a 6s Plus in gold and white... incidentally we had been talking about how more categories of employment are edging into the neighborhood of "the working poor"...
Then since I need to upgrade my iPad and have been thinking to stretch my rice and beans budget for a Pro, I popped in here and I bump into your post that suggests both my friend and I should be focused on something without gold trim.
In a thread about bezels no less. Thanks for the input.
Why no matte and piano (jet) black options?
The space grey is bland. It's not even the same colour as the space grey MacBook (and iMac) Pros. It looks better on those.

I do really like the look of an iPod touch that I have (silver and white), especially when I don't have a case on it, but for an iPad I think I may stick to a black bezel. The white bezel on the iPod touch sometimes distracts me when I'm watching any kind of video on it. I'm likely to go see the iPad Pro options in person before I decide.
I have white and black. Makes no difference IMO. Flip a coin.
Of course these threads are fun

Well that's the main reason I'd choose a white bezel, probably paired with Rose Gold.
I have a black iPhone Plus and prefer that for the seemless experience with watching movies, but the iPad's dimensions make it less suitable for video. I'd use it primarily for reading and writing so a white bezel wouldn't matter.
I went with the black bezel on my 1st gen 12.9" iPad Pro and am doing the same with my new one. I do all my digital art on my iPad Pro and the black bezel makes things pop and easier to judge colors and composition.
