Do prefer a black or silver faceplate?

Black. But probably that's influenced by my prior system being silver, for the most part.

Although whenever I see Jolida components in silver, I wonder if I'd go silver if I ever bought Jolida.

Black.

When I have silver, I like silver.
When I have black, I like black.

Silver face plates work for me. Most of my gear have silver face plates with touches of black. I really like brushed silver face plates.

I've owned black and silver. Preferred black for many years but my latest purchases have been silver. One thing I don't like is mixed, some silver and some black.
