Lightbulb Brake Caliper Paint

Hey guys. i'm going to change my brake calipers this week but i'm not sure wut color.
i was thinking to just take off that ugly blue paint off and leave it without paint .
i have Blue color on them now(the last owner of this car paint the caliper with blue spray paint and paint everything like idiot!)
i need some ideas please not sure wut color matches

I put about 12 coats on my rear calipers (which in stock form are nasty). I've had the duplicolor silver paint on for about one year and no fading or chipping thus far.

you remove them, powdercoating involves an oven.
