black. the original was black. the 16570 model looks great in both colours, but in this new size, thats a lot of white too carry off.

I actually meant to vote white but didn't see what I clicked and accidentally chose black. Sorry, its gonna disrupt the integrity of the poll.

The true number right now should be 12 white and 12 black!
