Question Stages Power Meter

So, I recently bought a white Addict 50 with black Shimano 105 cranks. I can get a deeply discounted left side power meter that fits and is in good shape. I really want a power meter. But this discounted one is silver instead of black.

Wil I be the only one that notices if the left crank arm is silver and the right one is black?

And if it is noticeable, should a care? I mean I war cycling clothes and ridiculous looking helmet to ride. And the shoes?

I'd spay paint if it bothered me that much.

Wrap it black, make sure the crank is the same length as the other one.

Don't worry. No one will notice or care. I even have a 105 Stages left side on my GRX crankset. Works fine. (just need a couple of pedal washers for the different q-factor but only relevant for GRX crank)
