I feel stupid for asking but I need someone to just tell me to get a space grey or silver MBP. I’ve been planning on replacing my 4 year old MBP for a while, and I had been planning on space grey because I like it better I think... and that’s what I actually ordered (can change it). BUT it’s not going to match any of the existing silver peripherals (two thunderbolt displays, magic keyboard/mouse). I feel like it’s going to drive me nuts... and I’m not going to talk myself into getting the dark versions of the keyboard/mouse because that’s stupid. So... if someone could just tell me why space grey is the right choice and how it won’t look stupid next to silver peripherals that would be great.
 
My favourite is silver.

Silver doesn't wear off. Space grey can chip if you don't take care of it.

Space grey looks nice... unless it has visible scratches. Then it can look horrible. Silver even when scratched looks OK.
