I went with the red. It is common but thats because it looks so good. And on any car regardless of color.
I agree, Yellow would not look right except maybe on a yellow Z. The red you see on my pads is no squeak (Hawk HPS pads) not paint.

I just powdercoated some brembo's gloss black and they look really nice. Also, how about a gunmetal? I also have a perfect match for daytona blue, but non-metallic.

Personally, I would go with Red or Silver on the DB. I have the blue on CS, but I don't think the blue calipers would match properly with the DB. That's just my $.02...
