I also figure that the colour must be some kind of paint and will start to flake off.

I would recommend the silver to anyone who asks me.
It is definately blue when you see it in the flesh so to speak. It does catch finger prints, but I think it is much better than the silver personally.

Also: it's not paint, the case is aluminium and the colouring is anodised, which means the colour permeates the top 4 1/1000's of an inch of the metal. A deep scratch can damage the colour but it won't rub off anytime soon.
