What color calipers for a Dusk Edition?

Hey everyone,
I want to paint my calipers, but can't decide what color. I was thinking either red with black brembo logos or black with red brembo logos. My Camaro is a 2013 SS Dusk Edition. So it is Blue Ray Metallic and it is pretty blacked out including the rims which are powder coated black. I would love everyone and anyone's opinion. Thanks!

Red IS faster, and I have red calipers. On your car I think the black option would look nice though.

I'm usually one for red, but your blacked out theme makes me hesitant...

They are the Dusk Edition wheels, but they are powder coated black. The splitter is from APR Racing, I love it cause it gives it a meaner look.

How about silver? That would look very nice behind the black wheels, maybe not as flashy as red but they would stand out.

Silver is not a bad idea. On the above photoshop the red looks good, but if you pulled back to the entire blue car I think red would look tacky.

Why not get G2 to do a color-match to your paint code? Dusk-blue calipers would look pretty sweet tucked behind a black wheel.

I was planning on getting G2 but I never saw an option for color-match, that would be sick and I could use black brembo logos to continue the theme. Where do you have them color-match?
