Default painting calipers/brackets, colour combo?

well im putting my new wheels on this weekend and i wana paint my calipers and brackets while the wheels are off.. my cars black.. and i bin starting with blue under the hood and little things here and there so i figured i would do them blue.. but i cant decide is if i should do the caliper blue and the bracket black or vice versa? i don't wana do all blue.. i think that might be overkill.. let me no wut u guys think. Thanx

Blue caliper and a silver or charcoal grey bracket. Or go a little subtle, and do a charcoal greay caliper and a silver bracket.

do something unique, like first paint the whole caliper gloss black, the brackets a fiery orange color, then paint glossy yellow & orange flames rising up from the center point outward. when the wheels are turning, all the flames should be visible between the spokes.

of course, it would set it off really nicely if you flamed the front end of the car as well
