Great point, costs a lot more then the cost of a rattle can to color match.

Color match would look "custom" everybody's got black, like T said it would flow!

I say color matched. The black looks like a sore thumb.

I know this is a different year, but this is my HT setup. Painted the grilles to match but had my painter spray the inside of the lid under the grille black to match the speaker, so the oval shape of the speaker did not jump out through the grille. If that makes sense:
