"silver" is the normal color of Aluminum -- lawn chairs, airplanes, aluminum foil.

"space gray" is darker, not quite black.

Space Grey or Silver? MacBook M1 Air 2020 Hi! I recently bought a MacBook M1 Air 2020 from a third party reseller. They did not specify the color, although I am sure it is either a Silver or Space Gray. Using Apple's Service and Support Coverage checker does not yield any color, and PowerbookMedic's SN checker does not specify the actual colors. Thanks, ExPort1
