I just saw a pic of a black SS with iForged wheels, and the calipers were painted a medium-blue metallic, and it looked pretty good. The blue looked just about like the the color used on 455 Olds motors, but maybe a bit darker. This should give you an idea of the color, but I wouldn't use this paint on the caliper:

Caliper color is a personal choice that can look good done in different ways. I recommend you look at some of the rides pics in the appearance section and see just what catches you eye.
I believe you are talking about my car, I used blue as as I have blue accents under the hood and I had ditched the red SS emblems for silver ones so the standard red calipers would not have matched anything on the car. But it doesn't mean I wont change the color in the future.
