Component faceplates

Predominantly components these days have faceplates that are either silver or black. There are a few exceptions, and some hybrids  where the faceplates have strong black and silver features. 
 

Does faceplate cosmetics influence your purchase decision and where you can get a component that offers either black or silver, what’s your choice?

Black is my preferred choice in a Vincent 52 Lightning…. And in most Kit… I will admit to a Jones for Jadis and vintage Mac before blue meters… finally I had a beautiful wood faceplate crafted for my Herron phono preamp.. Ambrosia Maple…

I'm a child of the 70's and classic silver faceplates are my favorites.  Black is overdone.  Everybody does black.
