I'd probably do a very light champagne colour on stock calipers... closest to a clean OE look possible.

Mine are silver. As above, reds/blues/greens etc should only be done on big brakes!

mine are gloss black. unless you have big fancy brakes worth showing of painting normal calipers a bright colour looks gay. and painted rear drums bright colours is gayer than a room full of gays bumming each other at a homosexual convension.

As said brash colours such as Red etc should only be used if you have big calipers.
