Default What color should I paint the calipers?

I have 2 sets of black powder coated wheels. The car cross drilled slotted rotors. I am looking to paint the calipers. I was thinking red. Does any body have pics of black wheels with painted calipers?
Can you guys recommend a color for the calipers?

I think the metallic blue of your car would look cool!! Understated but different.

I have the same color car with red calipers on stock wheels. When I eventually get my wheel powedercoated I think I'll paint the calipers to match the car.

Why not powdercoat the calipers?
