Caliper Color

I bought drilled/slotted rotors for my parent's for Christmas. They have an Electron Blue C5. When I swap their rotors I am going to repaint their calipers. I am trying to decide between colors though.

I'm thinking that painting the calipers electron blue to match the car would be awesome, or I could do the traditional red. Either color would have white lettering. Looking for opinions!

Thanks

Thanks for the answers!

Would it be better to color match and paint them? Or powedercoat like Rai said?

I voted for the blue. Mine are red on NBM but I think color matched would look better on the C5.

I don't know anything about powdercoating. What are the benefits?

I would do the blue on the caliper and maybe another color for the bracket and hub. I did my black TA with red caliper and everything else black. I don't know how the blue and black would look together but maybe a silver could work too. Here is a pic. of mine:
