Default Reel color, real or myth, spook fish or not?


trying trout/fw flyfishing this year. 4wgt combo reel color chosen:
gunmetal. Other choices were black, coffee, and gold. Rod is matte
gray, guides are matte black. Trout guys are telling me the reel is
flashy and will scare fish/trout. Any thoughts and information on this
issue is appreciated. - Neil
