Best way to do it is, If you have a silverstone with black leather, paint your calipers a dark colour, If your car is silverstone with a red interior, paint them red, as it compliments the interior.

Reds what Im painting mine.

If you must paint them than black draws the least attention.

IMO Painted callipers always look terrible especially after the paint starts flaking off.

I need an option that says "leave stock"
True - but the factory coating is $hit and rusts very quickly!

if i had the choice (is it possible to repaint brembo calipers ?), i would paint black - even with monsterous brembo front calipers in red, my (and yours) rear calipers will always look weedy by colouring them your only highlighting the fact.

I can't believe you lot are having a poll into what colour the claipers should be FFS, you lot are turning into a bunch of saxo boys!

If you what nicer looking calipers, up grade to spoon, brembo , J'Racing, painting them Red yellow Green or Orange is just SAD!

The only ones with some decency on here have at least painted them satin black

i think black. you don't want to draw attention to them (i.e. red) but they do look shabby as they are

been thinking of doing mine for a while, like the Satin.

Trying to decide what to do mine too, I thought Spoon blue would be nice (along with some anodised blue wheel bolts) but colour match would have to be spot on .....
