I think you've already figured it out. Black black and more black gets monotonous. You can change out that bezel for something else and put the instruction cards at the bottom of the control panel where there's open space. Some people turn to colorful t-molding, but I prefer to paint the cabinet blue, red, light grey, something different.
Color matching the control panel grey might be the way to go. Grab a cardboard bezel (or make one) similar to the control panel grey. The sides could be a light blue matched to the instruction card background color. If it's gonna take up real estate in your home, might as well make it look good.
