Silver or Black: does one colour get scratched or worn looking faster?

Re: Silver or Black: does one colour get scratched or worn looking faster?

I've not heard or read about any problems with either. I bought a silver OMD because I like the styling and like the silver lenses (12mm and 17mm in particular).

As an aside, I still own a Nikon F3 film camera (circa 1982 I think). It is black, but after some use the brass metal shows through the black paint. I actually liked it that way, and I was suprised to find at one point 'brassed' copies were selling for more than perfect copies because people wanted to look like they used their gear a lot.
