Poll: Caliper Color

This following picture is what my car looks like, now with Plastidipped chrome fog light surrounds, straightened license plate (it was mounted a bit off), and a new license plate frame (rear). But my question is this: what color should I go for when I paint my calipers. I am not powder coating but it will still be gloss, as the stock calipers look like a mess.

I wanted white but as they are brakes, they will get really dirty and look great until I hit my first stoplight. Don't really want to make the car darker, but I don't think black will be too bad, and in any case I hate the idea of red on this car. I want to keep a 2/3 color scheme on the car. I was thinking:

Silver
Black
White
Blue (Suggested)
Yellow (Suggested)

Thoughts?

Can't go wrong with red. Don't hate, collaborate. IMO black looks plain, white gets dirty like you said. Yellow Blue would look weird. Silver might be a good in between but again kind of plain.

Silver or red. Never blue. White can't even be considered. Yellow only looks good on Lambos and Ferraris.

Just my humble opinion.....but it's a fine opinion; steeped in history and born in the crossfire of a hurricane.
