Rolex dark dial vs light dial

I have white and rhodium, so I suppose I lean towards light faces. Somehow, I don't care for the mother of pearl though. If I ever pull the trigger on a third one, I will probably go with a black face (and likely a bit larger in size) for variety. Keep in mind not all face colors are available for all models, so I think you need to decide on the model first. GL
Yes 2020 few choices but what do you think if number diamond which dial better dark or light.
If wearing it long term is a factor, contrast between the markers and the face would be high priority for me, since the face may be more difficult to read as you age. So, if you're getting the diamond markers, they would really pop on a medium to dark face. I've read here that mother of pearl is more difficult to read because it's a bit busier than solids. My TT SS/RG with chocolate face is a really stunning combination.
I will attach images of 2020 dial colors for size 36 so easy to compare which is more classic attractive
White with romans, silver with romans or black would be my top 3 choices. At first I dismissed the black, but started thinking that if you wear black a lot (or other black accessories) and/or have dark hair or eyes, the black would be striking. IMO, the black looks most formal of these three. My YG has a silver dial, yellow romans, diamond 6, and it's not difficult to read compared to a champagne dial. I think all 3 of my top choices are classic, timeless combinations. Isn't it fun to design your watch on the website? So much of this decision is personal preference and style. There is no wrong answer! Have fun choosing!
The most important thing I have found in dial color is contrast with the hands. I had a champagne colored dial and gold hands once and would constantly misread the time b/c I would mistake the second hand for the hour hand. Seriously. Now I have a black face (Submariner) and that has never happened. Legibility is good.
1 & 2 are the most classic. 8 is the most elegant and luxurious.
I personally like darker dials because of the contrast with the hands. Legibility was an important factor to me.

i think only black , i feel sad after i sell my old rolex watch size 26 blue dial .
I think it entirely depends on how it looks on your wrist and what you like the best! Having said that I think the white/silver/rhodium are neutral and fairly easy to read in terms of contrast with the numbers/diamonds. I love the white mother of pearl as well but it is an additional cost unfortunately. Best of luck with your decision-they are all beautiful! I don't think you can go wrong
White or silver, for NO other reason than ease of visibility. When you get older, the first thing to go is the vision! 
and i'm not kidding.
