Some of the most prized classic lenses made by Zeiss for Hasselblad were all silver, and many professionals use them on their black Hasselblads without being embarrassed.

Perhaps, since Olympus considers the OMD line a 'retro' style design, they have decided to offer the non-black version to appeal to that theme.
