The white one really sticks out like a sore thumb with everything else in space grey. I travel a lot too so I don’t want to carry around the full size keyboard. I am currently using a small black keyboard but its getting old and starting to register double key presses

It’s been quite awhile and they haven’t come out with it yet. Wish they would.

Yeah I went to buy one today and found out its only white. Im willing to pay the price to match my stuff. That white worries me and I am worried it might get dirty easily

Funny, The reason I am interested in buying a black/gray one is my white one is looking quite yellow. Though it took several years to get that way.

Several as in more than 3? Outside my mechanical keyboard, I tend to replace my other keyboards every 2-3 years.

Just about three years, actually. I have a couple more of them that are even older than that, but which are fine. The one that yellowed is the one I use 5 days a week. I clean it often with compressed air and a damp cloth, but I guess my finger eventually got the better of the keys.
 
The white keyboards are easily cleaned with a very barely wet Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
Cleaned, yes, but the yellowing i see on mine does not appear to be something on the surface. It appears the plastic, itself, is slowly turning yellow.

The Magic Eraser is very mildly abrasive, it might be worth a try.
 
What I want is a silver keyboard with black keys - like my MacBook.

Why not apple?
A silver Magic Keyboard with black keys is provided with the Mac Pro (along with sliver/black Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2 depending on configuration) - albeit only in extended form with numeric keypad.

So it might be possible to get the silver one used online
 
I've wondered about the Black keys on silver body ever since they released the aluminum iMac, the white and silver keyboard looked out of place next to it.

I want the Mac Pro keyboard to be sold separately. The silver and black one.

The smaller one should also be made available in all three colors.

Agreed. I was expecting a release in the Spring, like what had happened with the Space Gray accessories in the spring following the iMac Pro release. Hopefully they do release them, because I feel they look a lot better with the iMac and silver MacBooks.
