I painted mine red and put some chevy emblems on them, but my car is black....I believe Alicia did hers in red on a blue 'balt and they didn't look that bad

Blue would probably look good, but you can never go wrong with red.

Red or blue would work nicely. I like calipers that match the body color a little more though.
