Silver, Space Grey or Gold? Which did you get and why?

Always grey as the other colors look to be a little flashy and cheap looking to me. I also can not do a white bezel
Silver, Space Grey or Gold? Which did you get and why?
I see a lot of people saying they find a white bezel distracting and I find that confusing. Do they find their eyes drawn to the bezel rather than the content they are viewing?
I think the statement is flawed because if you view apps and pages with white backgrounds, it could be said the white bezel blends in somewhat. If you are viewing darker content like videos or films then yeah a black bezel blends in better. But these tasks are done on the devices regardless of what colour they are and I can safely say I don't get distracted by a bezel. An interesting one.

For me, White bezel just simply makes colors appear dull. Though it's supposed to make colors appear more natural, I guess I prefer more vibrant. Like having a white computer monitor, it only serves to make the colors unbearable for me.
Space Grey. The black front looks sleek and classy to me. I also like the way it seems to fade into the background when I'm viewing videos. Like others, I find the white a bit distracting.
I go purely by changing it up from last year and by design.
I hear allot about the slate black iPhone 5, but in my opinion the white was clearly the winner for the iPhone 5 design. Gold was the winner for the 5S. For my 6 Plus, Space Grey is where it's at. Funnily enough, although polls say everyone likes Space Grey, I've only seen 3 or 4 SG iphone 6s out of the 20 I've seen in the wild at my university and work.
6 Pluses so far have been 50/50 silver/grey, though 6 Pluses are fairly rare to see in the wild in-general. I've only seen 4-5 other 6 Pluses so far.

I got the white/silver, but I really wanted the gold as I had a gold 5s previously and thought the phone was gorgeous. The antenna bars on the 6/6plus are absolutely hideous and I ended up going with the white/silver instead of the gold because the bars were a little less hideous than on the gold.
I hope on the next model they will do a better job with the antenna bars and keep the gold color.

I don't notice it that way, but respect your view. I nearly got the space grey this time around but changed my mind when I saw the Silver. I guess it was a spur of the moment decision and I really liked my white iPhone 5 last time around. I quite like the fact the fingerprint reader on the silver and gold has a metallic ring around it to highlight the feature on the front. I do like the sleekness of the Space Grey too so I think whatever model you get, you've got a lovely looking device. I don't buy this rubbish where people suggest either colour is gender exclusive. Most of my friends and family have iPhones and it's pretty obvious there is no pattern of preference. Maybe i'll get a black fronted one next time around as I have had a black phone for a few years now. I just hope wiping fingerprints off the bezel all the time doesn't get on my wick lol.
I had a white and gold 5S for no other reason than I thought they were popular and hard to acquire. It soon became apparent that I was surrounded by white 5S users. Therefore, this time around I went back to black. Space Gray 6 plus.
I like the black bezel, but, the "Space Grey" color got lighter again...I heard it's because the lighter colors are easier to anodize and less issues with anodizing (scratches), but, I would prefer a dark grey or black color, and would have gone with that if it was an option. (My last phone was a slate grey (very dark) iPhone 5).
I'm not a fan of cases, and would prefer they find a way to offer dark colors (and more color options). I might even have considered this year's gold color, if it had black bezel/accents instead of white with it.

We'll both will sell fairly well with no problems at all, put my wife white 4s on EBay with in 15min it was sold for $180 just like that. Now she is rocking the Gold iPhone 6. For me the SG is the best color though, really loving my SG 6+
But with the general feedback here, majority will search "Black iPhone 6" on Craigslist two years from now as a keyword. Yes, technically SG but most will search it as black..
Not really on many visit to the Apple Store from October to December, I have seen some SG 6/6+ but the majority of 6/6+ was the gold and silver ones. I have seen a lot of males rocking the silver & gold ones. In the end though I think there would be an even playing field when it comes to the resale of the the SG Silver & Gold models.

Agree I didn't have any problem selling our previous 4/S white & black. They where both gone with in minutes after putting them on EBay.
I chose Space Grey. I hate the white bezels black looks better. The white is too bright and distracting.
I thought about getting white since all of my iPhone's have been black but couldn't pull the trigger and got black/space grey again. I did get white/silver for my iPad air 2 though.
