help w color for calipers

I have black on black 2007 S550. The tech guy suggested to paint the calipers orange to match side marker with black benz logo and the bolts black.
what do you guys think bc red is so normal

any colors or ideas

You really want to match your calipers to your markers? I'm surprised you haven't color matched the markers already...
