Just a personal opinion of course...

I own an ivory PB360 and you're right - it's so-o-o pretty, especially the elegant swirly embossing on the cover - very feminine. I fell in love with it as soon as I opened the box.

I think you'll find the contrast is excellent whichever you buy. It's possible that there's an optical illusion which makes the contrast appear even better on the black one but I think there's another optical illusion that makes a pale grey screen surrounded by a dark surround appear "smaller" than a pale grey screen surrounded by a light surround. That's also why I chose a silver PRS505.

It may be another optical illusion but the contrast on my PB360 seems better than my PRS505.
