Default Wavering on decision - Black or Red calipers on Millenium Yellow Coupe?

Whatcha think?

Red is traditional, and bright!

Black is rich and goes well with Yellow!

Which looks better on Millennium Yellow ?

Silver looks good. These are the largest brakes I've ever seen. I got a ride in this beast and it was incredable.

Red calipers for all colors except DSOM and MR which would look best painted body color.

I have never cared for the yellow/red combo (katsup and mustard) I think yellow calipers with the Corvette in black would look great (or vice versa)
