Brake calipers, What Color?

I have a 2001 S'crew and I want to paint the Calipers, but not sure what color to go with, A little help Please?

Here is a pic of the truck and the wheels that are going to go on it shortly.

I was thinking, Red, Blue, Silver or Black.

Well, silver would match the two tone on your truck.

My wife suggested silver, I was originally thinking about something that would stick out a little more but not be too gaudy.

Silver or black would look awesome. I'm leaning more to silver. Hope my opinion helps.

They arent brembos. Id go with good old black. You dont want to be that guy showing off his OEM calipers with bright red paint.

I saw a honda with the rear DRUMS painted red. That screams performance.
