Dark silver and painted calipers

Getting ready to do a brake job and going to paint the calipers so I need some opinions. What color would you paint your calipers if you had a Dark Silver with Black top MCS? Wheels are stock right now. Would red stick out too much? Would black not stick out enough? Any ideas or pictures would be appreciated.
Thanks

Pure Silver and painted them red. It really pops. Also, for something a little different, paint the disc hats as well. Dupli-Color ceramic is highly recommended.

Just painted mine black....lightening blue Clubman with black top and black bonnet stripes....wanted something more understated. If I had JCW or large BBK calipers I would appreciate the red.

Totally agree wit the Clubman.
Im running a R56 (red body) and calipers in red looks great.
