What dark color option would you like to see on the iPhone 7?

I would go for the Space Grey, but if it's only in a darker color like the iPod touch 5/6th Generation.
 
If no space black then just space gray seeing those photos with the four color options. Space black might also be a problem to smudges like the HTC One M7. Silver and space gray don't show it as much.

Speaking that we are talking about a matte finish here. Slate and Space black don't really show smudges, or at least Slate didn't really show it when I used my 5th gen iPod touch. Heck I can see smudges on my silver and space grey devices anyway.

Space grey as long as its darker than the super light SG of the 6 series. The 5s/ipad mini wold do me. ultimately the SG of the apple watch would be great.
 
It is likely space gray for me now even if the 7 has an option for space black. Not into cases except a holster one. Was reading the thread of the rose gold 6s chipping, and I told myself to go space gray or silver if 7 has its issues of a Chipgate or Scruffgate that the slate 5 had. Boring and typical choice color, but oh well. Not going to be looking at it all day but a black matte finish with oily fingerprint smudges and scruffs would bother me.

Only color options for me -
Space gray for a black front iPhone.
Silver for a white front iPhone but kinda girl. I need the Vader color.

Gold or rose gold? No thanks. There are better looking gold options on Android devices and they are cheaper too. And no thanks to space black or deep blue either. Chipgate and Scruffgate is a concern. Same with being a fingerprint/oily smudge magnet. White, silver, and dark gray hide those smudges and dust better.
 
I think Apple should change all of the white front facing panels on the Gold, Rose Gold, and Silver colors to a black front facing panel, so the iPhone can match up with the Apple Watch.

I voted for deep blue. Thing is, personally, I like a color that shouts out "I'M A NEW PHONE"! A particular new color for a new model so there's no confusion. :):):)
 
If that space black existed, it would have been cool just to have black lines on the back and blend with the rear color. So stealth. Oh well. Don't like the back of my phones anyway unless the speaker is on the back which I then will flip over. At the end of the day, it isn't some life-changing decision. I am not Donald Trump with prejudices on color. Sometimes. ;-) Lived in Los Angeles for 25 years, so I was raised to have stereotypes thanks to the cops.

Space gray. Silver. No other choices for me iPhones. Basically, two different colors for the front. Four different colors for the rear. Not really complicated to choose one. The space gray 7 isn't much to look at, but like what Han Solo said about the Millennium Falcon. Not like a different color iPhone is going to make a certain iPhone perform faster over another when most hide them in a case anyway.
