Default Caliper color for DSOM C6?

I'm not sure about red? black and silver can be boring. Maybe yellow??
Pics of DSOM with yellow? Thanks in advance.

I'd agree with you and dvil, but there are other choices such as the blue-specked gray of "cyber gray", black, maybe even a light black/gray. If your interior color is tan, you could do something like that or a little darker. Different is good, too.

Either black or DSOM...nothing else. Mine are black, but I'd rather have DSOM to contrast with the black wheels.

Actually red looks quite good with DSOM. Check out some Z06s with factory red calipers and DSOM body color.

Thanks for the ideas as well. I have a 2SS/RS Inferno Orange Camaro I've been trying to figure out what color of calipers to do.
