The only time I have liked the special color more than the classic ones is Pacific Blue.
Apple really hit it out the park with that one. Truly special color.

Silver's my personal favorite between the two, only being beat out by gold, my favorite color period!
It's nice! I just want the white case to use a blue case. haha.
I agree!! That was the first phone that I wanted to use without a case. I've thought about buying it again. XD
I went with Deep Purple.
I’d love to see a really cool orange like Olight uses on their flashlights. I have this one and its a great satin orange. I think an iphone in this color would be 👌.

I agree. Purple doesn’t appeal to me at all. Wish they would just maintain Blue as a staple.
This silver is amazing in person just got mine.
The back isn’t white, it’s SILVER. Shows really well under bright lights.
Amazing color.

Managed to see every colour combination in person at an apple store yesterday. Found the silver surprisingly underwhelming and the deep purple very nice (a lot less purple and darker in person). It comes down to the space black or deep purple for me.
One thing I will say in regards to the silver is it looks truly “silver” now rather than just a white phone with silver sides like on some previous pro iterations. It’s very much silver and distinct from the regular 14 so if you really like silver I think it’s a good choice this year, just personally not my cup of tea as I prefer it more white.

I was surprised at the tint of silver in the back! I thought it was white when at the Apple Store, but having it home under some very bright kitchen lights the silver is apparent.
Really dig it. But yeah to each their own! Haha. I actually wasn’t a fan of the purple in the Apple Store and wished it was even darker : P
My only regret with getting purple is now that I have the SS watch, I could have had my phone match, but I love the purple, and I do have that silver glitter to satisfy my OCD. ;-p
The only silver remorse I have is the lighter phone shade showing up in my photos. Someone brought that up here a couple of years ago as a con and I didn't see that till I took this last trip. If you try to take photos through a glass window, it potentially can show up. Granted, the solution is probably putting the phone in a dark case, not sure if the chrome rings show up though.

I ordered purple Pro Max last week. I wasn't planning on upgrading. 12 Pro Max is fine. But I cannot resist the camera upgrade. I almost always get gold. I looked hard at the silver/white, but ultimately choose the purple because it's fun, different. Yeah, it could have been more fun. But I love the fact that it looks different in different light. Much like me. 
It looks a little mysterious, magical. Dang. It's a Halloween phone but mine is scheduled to arrive early November. I hate waiting. I plan on putting a Rhinoshield on my new iPhone.
I almost went down to the Pro instead of Pro Max. The weight issue is my main concern. I stuck with the Pro Max because I'm old. My eyes ain't what they used to be. I don't want to be reaching for my readers or holding my phone far away.

Coming from the 13 Pro Max, that’s the same reason as to why I upgraded. And I always go for the gold! 🏆

Enjoy your new phone. Off topic, but I think you and @ssledoux could be good friends should you ever meet.I ordered purple Pro Max last week. I wasn't planning on upgrading. 12 Pro Max is fine.
