Silver is the appropriate color for everything but speakers.

I did an extensive comparison of two colors and found that silver components sound slightly brighter. The black ones tend to sound darker but do a better job of disappearing especially at night.

Black.
Loki?
Paint it black.

Two exact amps. One in silver, one in black. The silver amp sounds bright, the dark one sounds gloomy.

@aewarren Lol nice!   

In recent years I started moving away from black to silver components.  I have a thing for Marantz AVRs and resorted to using Amazon UK to pick up a silver one.  For whatever reason Marantz only markets black components to the US.

I don’t know where it came from. Maybe back in the 70’s? But somewhere in my brain silver means "cheap" and black means "pricy" . I think the hi dollar audio shops that carried big names had black units, and all your Webcors, and Philco etc units sold at Buckeye Marts and Woolworths were silver. Kind of ruined it for me . Then in the 80’s all the rage was silver Marantz’s, Sony’s etc . We had to accept them as that’s the only way you could get them and then BAM, you had a choice. I’ll stick with black
