Caliper paint kits have a rather limited number of colors. Looking for an exact match is probably a futile task.
Folia has 11 colors, G2 has 9, Duplicolor has 5... not a Sonic blue in the bunch...

got to a aotobody supply store. give them your paint code and have them mix up a spray can for you. this will hold up nicely unless you autocross or are very hard on your brakes. but under normal driving it will be alright.

I like plasticoat's caliper paint.
To me, red is the color of choice. Anything else (blue, pink, green, etc) looks hack. Silver looks pretty good (stock). Black is always a good choice.
But really unless you have some nice brembos under there, the whole painted caliper idea has been tainted by ricers. I think porsche and brembo started the whole red caliper deal. And now porsche uses yellow on the caramic brake cars.
