I feel more comfortable shooting a black camera as it seems more discreet. But I love looking at, and fondling, a good silver chrome camera. My black M9 has seen a lot of use over the last nine years, but it still reasonably unbrassed. Can't imagine what a black paint MP would be like after the use I've put the M9 through.

I think the M2, M3, and M4 should be silver chrome. The M4P, M5, M6, M7, and MP should be black. (Ask me why I think so.)

Titanium.
Have an FM2-T and titanium finish R9. Love the lustrous color. Tired of black or silver. The newest CV 1,5/50 with nickel finished barrel looks fantastic and if I were looking for a fast 50, that'd be the one.
Also, the Safari and 'Reporter' green of the M10P are really, really cool colors. Wish they made them as standard options in addition to silver and irredeemably dull 'black chrome'.
