Default Suggestion: Caliper Color for my 2012 C6

I wanted to ask the group what they feel the best Caliper Color would go with my new Inferno Orange C6 Coupe - Base LT1

My wheels are the QX - Competition Gray Split Spoke
The vehicle is - Inferno Orange - LOVE IT

I am having Mike from Auto Pilot start my Calipers and I am going
back in forth on the best color to choose.

I do want to go with Competition Gray - Lettering

Caliper Colors I am considering:

Inferno Orange - with Gray Lettering - WILL THAT BE TOO MUCH

Machine Silver - with Gray Lettering - A CHEVY CHOICE in 2012

Standard Red - with Gray Lettering - Popular choice - not sure


Suggestions are appreciated and thanks

Black with inferno lettering? Silver with grey may look good too.

Go with your 1st choice ... orange with gray letters. I think it will look great on your vette

IO with Gray lettering was my first choice

Silver with Gray lettering is where I am falling back on

Tough choice - thanks for all your suggestions

I think of your choices silver would be the best! I think red would be hideous on and orange car.
