Caliper Color?

I plan on taking my wheels off soon and painting my front and rear break calipers. Was wondering if anyone had any opinions on color. I have a 2000 Torch Red Coupe with the thin 5 spoke rims. Right now I am leaning towards Red for the calipers just like the car. Dose anyone have any other opinions (maybe yellow or a blue)?
Pics would be nice! TY

Go with red - it is a rare color for the calipers.

These look GREAT, and the CORVETTE letters on the front calipers can be painted to match the color of the car.
