The seat belts are more yellow and less yellow/green. They match enough for me be glad I chose yellow belts, yellow stitching and yellow calipers.

From what I've seen the yellow calipers only take on that green hue in lower light. So when both are most visible they match pretty well.

That, of course, is Sw Florida swamp mud, only the best for the new gal.

I had just bolted them on and shot the pictures didn't clean them up yet.

It's a good thing you ordered a white car. If you think the edge yellow calipers looked brown, there is no telling how your brain might perceive other colors.

In reality, for most of us, it's hard to see much brown.

Didn't realize every mans wife was an expert on automotive color scheme's. Thanks for that bit of knowledge. Also, didn't realize you could "fix" any color choice with some black paint. Brilliant. Is your car black on black on black with black highlights? Would be super creative.

On a more serious note, I love the yellow calipers, and I've seen countless big $$ exotics with yellow calipers. It seems to be a very popular choice for supercars these days, and I think it makes a significant visual difference and really adds a tasteful visual pop and flare.

And I must say, I LOVE an ELB C8 with yellow calipers and that's exactly how I ordered mine. Great pics posted here.

And finally, To the OP... I think you might want to get your vision checked.
