I have three - one black and two yellow.

If you set up as I do from time to time on a black tar pathway, black cases are effectively invisible in the dark and in this respect I much prefer the two yellow ones over the black one.

The other thing about a black case lined with black foam I find annoying is that the gear in it becomes quite hard to see.

I'm in the process of making a template with holes to hold stuff, to replace the black foam. Currently thinking of having this CNC cut in clear thick acrylic and then very dimly side-illuminating it from the inside with a couple of red LED's and a dimmer so I can see what's where without needing any other illumination. The point of using clear acrylic is that the surfaces provide total internal reflection so most of the light from the LEDs is trapped and bounces around a fair bit before escaping at the cut edges.
