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.

I’m all black in my systems.  Love blue lights too.  Look beautiful when listening to music.
