In the mid 80s, you could buy some components in either silver or black. My Nakamichi BX-100 was heavily discounted because it was the silver version, when my Dad bought it new in 1985.
Black was "in", silver was "out"... silver stereo gear was like owning a beige computer today, or using a flip phone.
Also, I don't recall there ever being silver audio gear, it was brushed aluminum... maybe that's splitting hairs
