Default What will go with Maroon?

I am getting new brake rotors, so I figured while I'm at it, I would paint my calipers. I've searched to see if anyone else has this question with a Maroon car, but none where found. So I was wondering what would look good beside the standard black or red. I might do the brackets too. I was thinking maybe yellow, but I'm not sure, any tips on what might go well with the Maroon would be great!

I have a maroon Z, and as a matter of fact Im going to do the calipers probably this weekend. Im going to go with the polished look since for me that seems like the easiest way to go about it, plus I wont have to worry about the paint getting dirty.

Far as I can tell, theres only 2 colors that go with maroon, Black and Silver.

I would do Maroon calipers to match the rest of the car. Get some chrome decals too, that would look tight!

I'll probably leave mine unpainted, but black would be my next choice. Might help hide the brake dust.

yeah black cleans up very nice and the silver gets dirty easy but as far as my accents go the rest of the car is accented in silver..but it would prob be hard to find a maroon that close to our cars..

Couldn't seem to find Maroon high-temp paint. Now before I go and doing these things I want make sure my piant scheme will match all up. Here is what I plan to do in the next year and maybe you can help me decide/change colors:

Paint caliper's and brackets: Undecided still, probably Black calipers/Silver bracket
VFN Sunoco Hood: Maroon with Black or Silver strips along the side
Stull Grille: probably silver
Black rear panel with S Steel "CAMARO" inlays
Clear Corner and Side lights

Thanks for any tips or changes you would recommend, these things are tough choices...

black, silver
polish if the wheels are not polished or chrome. I think that polished barkes parts take away from the wheel in some applications.
