Default What color calipers????

There was a thread a while back about different colors for calipers. This got me thinking about what would look good other than red on my car. So please help me out. I have Gold wheels on a black Z and I cant think of what else would look good.

I personally don't like the red on that setup.

Black would be good, but very subtle
Silver would be good, but subtle as well, but less than black
Gold would be very cool, but might be an issue as it might clash with the wheels if it is kind of close to the same color

Yeah. I went to Auto Zone to look at paint and they had a bronze color that I considered. They also had a candy apple red type color that looked pretty good but I'm not sure how it would go with the gold.

silver to match the door handles! They have a spray that matches them. Aluminum with ceramic. I made the mistake of using clear on mine and it changed the color.

The red looks great. I would just leave it alone.
