Default Caliper Paint Color? Need opinions..

I plan on painting my calipers soon and was wondering what color you guys thought they should be. The problem is the color of the car. If it was black, or white, or red.. or just about any other color the decision would be easier, but the color of the car is "Bright Metallic Purple." I was thinking red, but Im not sure how great it would look with the purple. Then again I was thinking maybe black, but it wouldn't be very noticable. Here's a pic of the car. (sorry about the quality, it was taken with a phone.)

with those wheels the calipers aren't that visible anyways, right?

I'd go black (although if you can find that purple or similar purple, go for it)

Black or a similar purple would look good.

yeah, you are right. With the stock wheels they are visible, they just don't stand out. I might go with a purple, but I'm thinking black probably. If I can find a similar purple, I'll probably go with it.

Red goes with anything. I do like the option of painting it the same color as the car. But yellow has been pontiac's purple compliment.
