Silver - I like the white. My partner likes the space grey so it makes it easy to tell them apart. I tried the dark on an iphone and hated it so now I just stick with silver.
Got a tip for us?

I have a silver iPad Air 2 and a gold iPhone 6s. If I got the iPad Pro, I would've gone with a 128GB Space Gray with the official Apple black case. I feel that with 12.9" screen, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not getting black bezels. This would be the perfect portable device for watching movies.
My previous iDevices were all black/space grey so naturally, I wanted to get my iPad Pro in space grey as well. There were no more available so I decided to go with silver. Besides I've always wanted to try a white front and I like the silver back better than the space grey one, but before I just never had the courage to actually mix things up. Own a silver now and I like it!
For smaller devices like iPhone, I like mixing up the colors...I currently have a Rose Gold 6S Plus. But for a device as large as an iPad Pro, I think a black bezel/face makes a lot more sense, especially if it is going to be used for any quasi-serious media viewing, editing, or work. The black face allows the iPad to "disappear" a bit better, allowing better focus on the media on the screen.
That said, I gave the silver IPP a long look in the Apple Store; it's great-looking.

Gone for gold the same as my air 2. Prefer the white bezel now although
my earlier iPads had the black. Black looks to severe on something as
large as the Pro, makes it look even more huge!

I have always thought black bezel but my husband had gotten one with a white bezel with gold. Using it has made me appreciate the white for one main reason. FiNGERPRINTS. The bigger the pad the more obvious the smudges and prints. i had on backorder the black and space grey but am changing my mind. The white bezel is so growing on me and cannot watch streaming much due to limited internet speed, so white it is. I totally agree if you watched a lot of videos then black would look better. Anyway just a thought....fingerprints are not as noticeable on white bevel as it screams on black.
I like all the colors of iOS devices, but for the iPad Pro, for some reason, the black bezel seems most appropriate. Somehow, black seems most pro to me, it is least distracting when using illustrating apps and the blacks on the screen blend beautifully with the bezel. it became more pronounced on newer iOS devices that have even less gap between the LCD and glass and higher contrasts. iPad Pro with its Photo Alignment has some really deep blacks. I noticed how my SG iPhone 6 also has this effect, as well as the Apple Watch - when a screen has black elements, they blend with the bezels and look awesome. For example, when watching movies, the horizontal black bars merge with the borders, when reading comics, the vertical ones do the same, etc. It just looks great. Pro apps like Procreate and Sketchbook also look awesome - for example, Sketchbook looks the same like on my iMac (white canvas surrounded by a black bezel) and Procreate reminds me of a dark-themed Photoshop on the Mac. I am really happy with my choice.
All iPads are pretty and silver and gold ones are also striking, but for me, the SG iPad Pro simply looks the best. But no matter what color you chose, it's great and looks awesome.

space grey is awesome, black bezel pops out the media. Less distraction and stress to my eyes plus it looks beautiful. I have air 2 gold which has white bezel and i found out that black bezel is a thing for me.
