Pro tip always get the silver macbooks because they wear out considerably better. On the black ones the paint near the charger ends up looking terrible and any dents/nicks/scratches look bad.

I like scratches on my machines, it gives them character.

FWIW a brass macbook would be pretty dope

		Given $$$$ that might actually be reasonably possible to do if you can get a good enough model of the chassis.

I wish there was a red or green one. Sick of only having two options.

		Annoys me to no end that fun colors are limited to the "cheap" lines like the Neo, Air, and Duo while Pros are boring. If I'm spending $4k on a laptop then why can't I get it in green? It genuinely makes no sense.

the champagne color for airs looks really nice when worn too, but i mirror your sentiments on black - it does not age well

		It's their best mac color tied with the imac yellow. The imac green and purple is great too and would look perfect on a macbook air/pro. Black is 100% the least appealing.

		Champagne/Starlight is definitely the way to go when available. Starlight especially, it's mostly silver but sometimes the light catches it just right to give it this sort of iridescent gradient to a light gold. I liked the old Gold they used in the mid 2010s too.

Except there is no "paint". Neither are there any "black ones"; space grey isn't very close to black, and I've seen no wear issues of any kind on any of the Macs I support.
