red or yellow
or gold for a standard look
if youve got drums on the back please dont paint them bright, black is the only way for drums

On my Merc Grey Fiesta my calipers were gloss black in the middle and hammerite green on the sliders/outsides.m Looked really good. On the Red RST they are going yellow though.

Normally do mine silver as a safe option, altho do like seeing different colour metallics that some people do.
