E63 W212 Calipers Color Deal

Why Mercedes W212 E63 have different colored calipers? Is it to differentiate any technical specs or there is no significance at all and its just a personal choice?

Color: Gold
Color: Red
Color: Yellow

Red-- standard steel brakes

Gold-- Optional Ceramic Brakes- ( around $12-$14,000)--- Bigger Calipers (slightly heavier than the steels) and bigger Rotors ( much lighter than the steels)----

Yellow--? Probably custom color by the owner

Kind of mentioned over three different posts... All together for the e63's
Silver standard e63 360 mm
Red designates the "s' model 360 mm
Gold/copper ceramic I think like 405mm?
