opinions on caliper color

with the parts for my brake swap arriving each day, i am contemplating on wat color i should do the calipers. the car color is the dark forest green metallic. many people will prob say red, but im not down with the whole christmassy look of the green and red. i was thinking black, silver or green.

wat have you guys done? and any other colors other than wat im thinking?

any opinions welcome and pics as well

i also saw that duplicolor offers a dark green engine paint that i was thinking about. should look good with the factory salad shooters

luckly the brackets from my job already come powdercoated black, so thats taken care of.
normally the calipers come powdercoated as well but i guess cuz there alumimum they didnt do it

Green is going to look black being its in a dark area. Color is also dependent on your wheels..you have polished, painted, or black rims?

Some of the newer cars with BREMBO brakes have a copper color. Might look really good if you have a tan interior.
