Space Gray vs Silver?

[davidg4781]

Has Apple unified their Space Gray colors? I think I remember a few years ago they were different shades across product lines. I'm really considering a new MacBook in Space Gray but it would bother me too much if it doesn't match my Apple Watch, keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and anything else.

Yeah, it's nitpicky, but I'd have to sit there and look at it for maybe the next 10 years and wonder why they can't just get them all to match. With silver, that wouldn't be an issue.

I’ve always had silver. This time I got Space Gray. It's really classy.

I am leaning toward Space Gray myself. I'm looking at the 14" MBP for my son as a xmas present, He is in college.

Black/Slate... if they still had it. Space gray has started to look more like a slightly darker silver.
