Do you prefer gold or silver hardware on your bags?

depends on the bag - I am a steel/platinum/white gold kinda girl so silver suits me but recently all my bags have gold hardware - don't feel they are flashier than others, and I like it
 
I like both, but I wish my black NotChanel came in a gold hardware version, or maybe both together, since that's the black bag I carry most often, yet my everyday bling tends to be gold, either faux or non-faux, which means that if I want to carry a black bag, I usually have to change bling.

And then if I decide I want to carry a brown bag, the two I use most have gold hardware, so I have to change bling again.

Maybe one day all bags will have both, like some watchbands...
