Im waiting for my 04 MCS Black/Black and will be painting the calipers yellow.

I have seen yellow on black cars before and they look amazing.

If your car is silver id go for yellow.

Red is a bit Ford Fiesta / Vauxhall Nova

Personally I'd go for either black, silver or deep blue.

Had red callipers on my silver IS200 and it was a bit too much, so had black on my black Civic Type-R, then black again on my blue GS300 and it looked

Red or Yellow.

On a silver car would have to be red.
