New colors will be Space Grey (with black bezel), Silver (with white bezel), and most likely gold/champagne (with white bezel). Likelyhood of scratching probably remains the same throughout, however I would assume the Space Grey to be more akin to the Silver this time around instead of the Slate (both in terms of looks, and resistance to scratches).

*Slate will be discontinued, just like it was for the iPhone 5s*

I was thinking of going with the more recent Grey or Gold, sounds good. Thanks.
