Caliper Color

I need your opinions please. My Corvette color is Atomic Orange and I am having my calipers painted tomorrow, but can't decide between red or blue. What are your opinions?

Thank you in advance for chiming in!!!

My Vette is Atomic Orange also and I am going with Black calipers and Silver brackets. It should look pretty good with my new rotors that are black in the center.....

Atomic Orange. Sorry I didn't choose between the 2 options given, but I think A Orange is the only way to go

I don't like red or blue with an orange car.

If your wheels are chrome I think black would look good. Any other wheel color I would go with orange.

I have AO and went with Black calipers. Sort of wish I went with AO but I wanted to paint it myself and AO was not available. Also did not want to go through the expense of having them changed over..

Not the best pictures, but you get the idea.
