Default Caliper Color?

I plan on taking my wheels off soon and painting my front and rear break calipers. Was wondering if anyone had any opinions on color. I have a 2000 Torch Red Coupe with the thin 5 spoke rims. Right now I am leaning towards Red for the calipers just like the car. Dose anyone have any other opinions (maybe yellow or a blue)?
Pics would be nice! TY

Go with red - it is a rare color for the calipers.

Consider chrome, especially if you have the thin spokes chrome, and running anything but the OEM rotors.

These look GREAT, and the CORVETTE letters on the front calipers can be painted to match the color of the car.

Go with the body color. My car is black and I went with black for the calipers. I think red on a red car would look good.
