Why are almost all Breguet guilloche dials white?

The real Breguet dials are silver in color, so why do all the reps with the guilloche patterns come with white dials? Is there some reason they can't rep the dials and make them silver colored?

hmm - the guilloche pattern Breguet rep I'm wearing right now is silver, as are a good many I've seen (although most tend to look white on a photo)...

That's interesting. Most of the ones listed describe the dial as white. There are a few listed reps I've seen with silver dials, but not many. Which rep do you have?
