Default what color to paint calipers?

I have a black integra and I was want to paint the calipers because they look like poopoo. I cant decide what color to paint them. The color scheme on the inside has blue accents, and thats what im going for. But Im not sure If I like blue calipers on a black car. I like red on black, but that would kinda mess up my color scheme If I had red n black, then blue n black. Or I can paint the calipers high gloss black, but they wont stand out as much and I dont want to put in all this work on something that will go unoticed. So I need some input. Red, Blue, Or Black

I'd say a darker red to match the rear tail lights. Interior ans exterior color schemes can run a little differently in my opinion. Nobody on the road is going to be working really hard to scope out your interior scheme so all they'll see is the outside. Unless you're going to be competing in shows or anything in the future I think it'd be neat to vary it up a bit. The red would be more outstanding too. Good luck with your decision.

Silver is also an option... I did mine in black, it makes the wheels stand out more. They were red before.

Yeah silver would look good on any color. I like red personally though.

Why not hot pink? I'm sure people would get a kick out of that.
