Painted Brake caliper - what color

This is my car, on my previous lancer i had red painted calipers on a blue car, but now with this color, i dont think that red would actually look good.

What color do you guys suggest

I painted mine orange to match the Ralliart emblem and it actually came out really good. Might blend into your car a little though. I'll throw some pics up when I get a chance.

Good choice for gold, I did the same on gold wheels.

...for the brembo logo...... why tag them brembo if they are not? People will ask "Oh and they have brembos?!" and your answer will be "no..."

I say use the brembo tag, but use black on the gold. That would look WAY better and easier to hide the dust. If an idiot asks you if you have brembos, you just look at him for a second or two and then say... "can you read?"!!!!!

I used yellow on my red Lancer GTS and it look okay, if they were gold though it would have looked much better, so I vote for gold.
