New caliper colour help?

Hey guys getting my standard 09 AMG wheels powder coated and paired gloss black, on my white c63 with black badging and dark carbon fiber mirrors and gril etc. I'm thinking either the sanders red calipers or might go a bit out there and get Aqua/Teal with black decals.

What do you you guys think? I don't want the Aqua to cheapen/look to aftermarket but I think it might be ok going with the racing team/Petronas colour. Any help or idea would be awesome thanks.

I personally love that colour.
Tiffany & Co Aqua.

I almost did mine that colour, but i stuck with my trademark baby blue

This thread has most of the colors just to compare.

The teal is definitely a unique color, I don't think it will cheapen the look if done right. It will stand out a whole lot more . I don't hate the color but I'm not in love with it either.

Matte grey. Less showy and brakes just as well.

IMO, I don't think the Aqua will look good on a white car. I think it would look great on a grey or silver one, though, but maybe I'm not imaginative enough to think beyond the F1 team colors.

This.. x2. Theres not enough contrast between that aqua color and a white car.. I would go yellow or red calipers on a white car.

Thanks guys - helped me make my mind up will go red and then the Aqua colour once I get it all wrapped down the track, for now the red will suit the look more . Thanks again

If you're gonna go teal anyway, just do it now. That Project Mu teal looks good on white cars, especially with a bronze colored wheel.
