What color should I paint my Calipers?

I have a Sunburst Metallic Orange, what color should I go with? I have white decals on the windows, but white calipers and GM break dust will not look good. I was thinking silver. Any buddie with the same color as my car that have painted there calipers, what color did you end up going with? Thanks for the help.

I painted mine orange using duplicolors metal cast paint. It is a high temp paint that is supposed to imitate anodizing. They look ok, the duplicolor product was the best high temp I could find in orange. The other oranges were too flat colored or too bright. This has a nice dark metallic look to it.
