Caliper color vote

OK, I'm going to paint the brake calipers. We have Hot April Nights car festival here next weekend. First mod was the completely sexual tinting of the windows. I've got the guy at my paint store willing to mix any color I want. The votes in the house are blue or purple. I'm leaning toward deep dark purple. Care is Titanium with red/black interior. Suggestions are welcomed!

Since your car is silver I think you have a lot more color choices. My car is yellow so I have the calipers painted yellow with the G2 system.

I would prefer Blue, because everybody has red calipers. Silver and Blue work. If not Blue then I would go with a Silver paint maybe with some very very slight blue tint to it.

Tanks for the votes, red is definately winnin. Red is sooo kewl, but I would never wanna be considered a bembro wannabe. Remember I've a rice rocket in a sea of american classics. I can always go red after the festival (sounds like MaCarthism, lol). Deep purple against the steel TIO2 is still screamin at me. I like my vehi8cles to be flash so how bout some deep purple strakes?

do something original, red doesn't look very good on TI imo, mine are black and i like it but my wheels are black. Purple would be tight or bright pink...jk

What looks good on red? I think red calipers on a red would not look good. Any suggestions?
