Caliper color

Will be doing the CTS-V/ZL1 big brake conversion soon and the only thing left undecided on the upgrades are the colors of the calipers.

Yellow 2010 2SS/RS with black stripes, black powdercoated rims. Everything on the exterior of the car (except the lights) is yellow or black. (link to pics in my signature)

I can't seem to find anything that suggests any color was used for Bumblebee in the Transformers movies.

I'd like to maintain the theme of the car, but am also curious to see what others would suggest for "custom" colors.

Thoughts I have so far:
Yellow - would look cool, but I think it would be hard to keep clean and would look "off" if not color matched properly.
Black - would keep with the theme of the car, but I wouldn't be able to "show off" the brake upgrade
Red - there's something cool about a set of red Brembos, but I think the color is a little too "common" and wouldn't match anything else on the car.
Other. Give some suggestions in the replies. Royal blue? Synergy Green?
