What color calipers on an EB IX?

The time has come to go with two-piece rotors and repowdercoat my calipers. I can't for the life of me decide what color I want the calipers. I'm really leaning towards yellow. The car currently has XXR 527's all the way around. Opinions are appreciated!

Also, does anyone have any opinion on what color to powercoat the hats of the rotors? They will be the Racing Brake 2-piece rotors with the Open Slot rotors.

Sorry for the crappy phone pics. It's all I have for now.

I do need to mention that my goal for the car is clean, understated sleeper. As of right now, the engine bay looks almost completely stock with ported stock EM and IM. I have gloss black UICP and LICP with a mini battery. I will be eventually powdercoating the valve cover in crinkle black and powdercoating a Magnus intake black. That's kind of the direction I would like to take the exterior as well. The front will remain stock as it currently sits, with the rear eventually getting the JDM rear with Evo VII tails.

Does anyone have some good pictures? I've looked through the Official EB picture thread and didn't see anything that popped out at me.

i've had mine white, and they're currently teal. i think silver looks great for an understated/incognito look.

The silver definitely has the "sleeper" look covered.
