Default What color to paint calipers...

I would like some input from you guys on what color to paint the calipers. I'm getting bored of the factory black, so I'd like something more noticeable....something that goes with the color car and wheels...
Thanks in advance!

I was thinking the solar orange, only cause i saw it on the new GSF..... but then i was thinking more of a blue color since around the F badges its blue and also the interior stitching, but i haven't seen anyone painting them blue.

Painted mine orange and put the F sticker on them bout a year ago but mainly because my interior is the same color orange/blue combo.

Brembo gold would be a good color with those wheels

I'm stuck between three color options. I also have a SFP car as well. My first option was red since it pops. Second option is blue to match the F badge, and third option is this lime green yellow from this Porsche.

I've always liked Ultrasonic Blue brakes on a White ISF. It helps to tie in the blue trim on our cars.
