What's wrong with Yellow ?
I got a Matt black plasti dipped and planning to paint them yellow.
Or Red doesn't go with yellow ?
I've seen black and yellow many many times and it looks sick ?!

Silver.
Red is a tough color to work with. Virtually any strong color combination with red is going to be garish.
Red/Green = Merry Christmas
Red/Yellow = McDonalds Happy Meal
Red/Blue = Skittles taste the rainbow
The only thing I like about the red color is knowing that it can eventually be peeled off. (Your car was insane in white, and that's what I hope you'll eventually get back to)
Red/Silver/Black combinations can be made to look good, most other strong primary / secondary colors are just going to look oddball.

Greg, first off - I love my white/pano and the red is temporary. Spent a long time looking for this car and no way will it change color permanently. I love the red too, but white is #1 - this is what happens when I run out of exterior mods. Thx for the compliment!
So for the next few months, half a year or however long it does it for me or the local police..I want the calipers looking right. I wanted lambo green (Verde Ithaca) for years and made threads about it. I refrained due to staying away from powdercoating.
At this point I still don't know. I rarely ask advice on mods.
