I say black or dark gray if the decals are white. No Red on stock calipers - too flashy.

Keep them black. Painting stock calipers only emphasizes how bad stock brakes look. I can see it looking OK on the larger stock brakes like Supra, 2LS, 3LS or IS-F. But if its not minimum 4-pot I would leave it alone

I think anything looks good. It just depends on the color scheme.
