Silver is the appropriate color for everything but speakers.

I believe it was Henry Ford, who said you can have any color you want as long as it is black.  Black lacquer dried the fastest.  He did make Model T's in other colors.  Digital Amplifier Company gives you a choice on some models, a red or black faceplate.  My Maraschinos only come with a red faceplate, the power supply is red also.  I really don't care what the faceplate color is, it is under the hood that counts.  I have several Meridian pre/pros they have a glass like top, actually it is persplex a type of acrylic.

someone had to post it........

Mine are a gunmetal color. Silver-ish.

Black faces make components look like toys.  No serious piece of electronics should obscure the surface markings with a black face.  Think of all the lab equipment you've ever seen...consider the components in this MIT electrical engineering lab workspace:

Silver is functional, timeless, professional, serious.
