Not sure, actually. Grabbed the image off the web, but I’ve seen that layout before.
A decent part of why I love audio is staring at it, and silver shows it all better. Black is good for ninjas or a funeral hearst. Oddly, most electronics have been black, from Naim to Simaudio, McIntosh, Legacy, Marantz, even back to SAE and other stuff I have forgotten.
My favorite look? Black PS Audio component, on silver VooDoo Cable Iso-Pods, on a silver PS Audio PowerBase, on a maple Mapleshade Audio Samson rack. Lovely!

Silver and other light colors displays details and lines. Black is subtle and more readily disappears.
I own a mishmash.

Decided to go with silver in the future unless I get Gryphon (in honor of @aangen)
Easier to avoid tripping over in the dark
My first setup was goldish with woodish casing; my last was black; my next will be silver billet

Black is beautiful! I do have a Silver BHK preamp. I like the contrast to the rest of the equipment.

I love every gear to be silver! The main reason is that I see and find them easier at night. Black is too dark for my old eyes nowaday. I got rid of all black BAT gear a few years ago.
I replaced all my golf balls to yellow color too, so I can see them from 150 yards out.

I have black gear sitting on silver VooDoo Cable IsoPods sitting on silver PS Audio PowerBases. That’s a cool look.

In the future I plan to only buy gear in safety yellow.

Black gets thinner, silver gets fatter!
Black looks like modern, silver older.
Black gives a sense of robustness, silver reminds me cheap plastic.
Black is four seasons, silver feels cold.
Black is elegant, silver is industrial.
Exceptions: Jeff Rowland polish steel (beautiful) and Luxman silver matte or anodized aluminium billet silver (Apple and MSB).
I hate black, never had black cars, motorcycles, dresses or furnitures. Only in my audiophile life I choose black and never look back. Until my mentor can make me change idea.

A worthy debate over wine
I’ll drink to that!
I prefer gold/champagne as in conrad-johnson, and the golden glow of thermionic devices.

I only like gold/champagne color if there is alcohol in it. But I prefer dark colored wine usually. I wish all my cables would come with silver color too so I would not trip over them at night.

My DS MKII (and previously MKI) is silver and my BHK300’s are black, since they go different places. The Dac is on a rack with a variety of gear including a beautiful wood cased Strain Gauge phono stage, and the amps sit behind the speakers and subs, which are black.
