Default Ideas on under hood colors on a white car

Looking to see or listen to some advice on some colors that look good under the hood of a white car.

I have:
2000 SS Camaro

Looking to Paint:
FAST 90
Lid
Fuel Rail Covers ( if i get some )

The car currently has a black and white schem going on right now with black manta stripes and black Z06 wheels. Calipers are painted Chevy orange.

Thoughts so far are painting the intake the same orange, getting the covers a high gloss black with orange lettering and leaving the Lid alone or painting it high gloss black as well. Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated

ive heard white was hard to keep clean, im sure any color really is lol. A nice gloss black would look pretty nice too im sure.

I thought about doing the coil relocation and painting the valve covers to match the intake. I started looking at some of the fuel rail covers that people have made and it kinda sold me on going that way.
