Caliper Color Dilemma

I'm looking to do the Tundra brake upgrade on my '97 (luv getting gr8 commission check cuz doing a full OME kit, HID [maybe], poly's, brakes) ...Anyhoo...my friend and I have a bet regarding what color to paint new calipers before install. My T4R is Anthracite Metallic (see avatar). One side thinks "yellow" instead of "red" (even though Red would be typical choice, thinks yellow would better match T4R color and new OME parts)...other side thinks yellow is YAG (read backwards)....another side thinks subtle is the way to go with "black" [and paint calipers AND drums] or just use the "silver" Duplicolor wheel paint I just used to paint center caps with.

Thought I'd post this to the masses...what's everyone think??

I'll say all colors look good. black is the basic color that looks good on anything. red is the one most everybody picks. im going to paint my calipers red to match my truck. Id say that yellow would look alright to because you dont see much calipers yellow. depends if you want to be diffrent or not
