Back in my NAD years I had all black equipment, since NAD, like Ford, offered any color as long as it was black.
Before that it was Sears/Pioneer in vinyl woodgrain.
Now I am all silver PSA, except for my holdout NAD FM Tuner. Silver brightens up a dark corner so well.

It comes in stages, my first equipment like the Panasonic DVD player was silver, and most other equipment comes in silver at the time, so I got everything in silver. Then everything started coming out in black color, that was chic at the time and everything in black looked really cool so I started getting all my equipment in black. After a while when everyone was used to black, silver aluminum started to be introduced back to the picture and it seem a little more classy looking, especially the higher end equipment, so I started getting back to silver again. Soon I may get tired of this all silver thing and get back to black, who knows. But that may cost a small fortune to change everything back again. I don’t mind gold, but not that many equipments comes in gold, so the choices are more limited.

But what sounds the best, that’s what I interested in. I could be wrong, but I believe silver sounds much better than black. I don’t know about the other colors though.

I have both silver and black in a few different systems, but I think I prefer silver because you can see the details in it.
Some might like black because you CAN’T see the details, as it probably blends into the background and is less distracting while listening. Ahdunno.
Kinda why I’m not a fan of black cars or black wheels on cars. The shape and design might be outstanding, but you miss out on a lot of the definition if it’s all black.

Silver sounds better only if a green pen is used around the edges.

Black sounds better than red, blue sounds better than black, orange sound better than blue, purple sound better than orange, white sounds better than purple. You don’t believe me? Try out those SR fuses and then you know what what I’m talking about.

The zebra stripes were overruled by the woman who has better esthetic taste than me. Or so it seems.

Once you go black, you will finish the sentence yourself. 
Exactly where I’m coming from.
