Go black...unless your interior is red or something else you can tie in red to (stripes, etc)

With those 20's your caliper will be very visible. I'd go red. Most people would guess a caliper to be black anyway, or assume it's dirt. If you go red, they know you put in the extra effort.

And I'm not saying this to be a kill joy but look into bigger brakes if you get 20's. You may need them, may not, but at some point there is no denying the physics involved in stopping a wheel with a larger circumference and more weght than a stock wheel.
That's my .02. Oh yeah it's National Safety Week too so I had to give you the heads up.
