I've seen Maggies in several color combos and IMO the ugliest is the off-white color. It makes the speakers look...well...kind of pathetic and weak. To me Maggies look best in dark colors. Yes, they tend to look imposing with the dark colors as well they should.

I kinda like imposing :-)
The only speaker I ever turned down for review was a behemoth pair of single driver horns that I would have had to climb over to get to my kitchen. I'm getting too old for mountain climbing.
Black maggies might be a good balance for the black leather couch across from the fireplace. I have to be honest. I'm not a big fan of the off-white color either.
But I ended up with a pair because the price was right.
I've always admired the black with the cherry stiles though.
One good thing about the 'midnight maggies' is they tend to disappear in low lit rooms resulting in less distractions away from the music. But-to each his own :)
As do the XLO cables with their grey and violet combinations. In low light you don't notice them and they just kinda fade in the background, both visually and sonically.

The off white maybe harder to keep "clean".
