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 can imagine the palm area on either side of the touchpad would get pretty funky too. On my space grey MBP its visibly worn there.
I wish there was a red or green one. Sick of only having two options.

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

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.
