Silver, and very nice. They are like the ones LH were doing last year.
Got them on TG471 to SYD today, but got the old one from CDG on Friday. Crew on TG471 said first time they had seen them as well. You still have to ask for eyemasks and ear plugs but can't have everything, I suppose.

Yep, they have a 15ml tube of La Maxima Body Lotion, which is listed as Hand Lotion on the new contents card. The Evian Facial Spray is replaced by a much smaller La Maxima one and there is also now a 10ml bottle of La Maxima Eau de Cologne.

As for why people like it, I guess as far as I'm concerned, it's a bit of a collector item specially for those of us with a sizeable selection of the actual Rimowa luggage.

I took LH F a few times and still didn't get one!
I asked the Rimowa dealership in Toronto and she managed to get me one.^
Now looking forward to get my TG Rimowa kit at my booked BKK-CDG in F.

Just flew ZRH-BKK and BKK-FCO in F.. got the old one on the first flight, and the new Rimowa kit on the 2nd one. There are no socks or eyeshades in the Rimowa kit. They had to come around to each pax separately and offer socks. But no eyeshades. And still, no earplugs. It looks cool. It's definitely an improvement from the looks aspect, but the stuff inside just falls short. They are clueless as to what pax need.
