Default Caliper Color? OPINIONS!

I have a BLACK 94 GT with Black/Chrome Rims...
I'm putting new drilled rotors on it tommorow morning, and I'm also going to paint the calipers a different color (dont have the money to buy nice new calipers)
Right now, they are yellow, and I think they look badass, and they used to match with the yellow corner headlight
Now I got new AngelEye headlights, and I love them, even though many of you guys hate those on imports cuz theyre "ricey" I know lol

What color would look sweet on the car? Here is a pic >>

black would be the common sense choice,because of the color of the car,but it wouldn't be to noticable,but I wonder how a silvery gray like your interior and stripes would look,or maybe red?

I would do a nice black, so that it looks good, but not ricey/flashy

yeah I want them to be noticeable, so now black...
Silvergray maybe, and red also would look good, since the taillights and markers are red
But I like yellow too lol

True...I have a small picture in the 1st post up top with the yellow calipers
They matched with the headlights (yellow on the sides)
Now I think I might go with red, but every mustang has red calipers you know?
