Default Work Equips paint job

I have decided to give my Equips a paint job. It has it's small knicks in the paint and it is beginning to bother me. I will also be replacing the outer barrel so this baby will be like brand new, no small scratch or curb checks. I need opinions on possible colors.

Thanks in advance.
BTW here is the pic of them on my car in case you may be wondering.

Id go with white. Thats a not so new trend with higher end luxury vehicles like Merc's and Bimmers. I've seen pics of matching red, blue, black, you name it. And they all look good.
