I agree, only certain colors can pull it off well, white and yellow come to mind.

I'd paint the calipers black. Looks like you did not paint the barrels which means you did not paint over the wheel weights like so many people do

Plus one for matching calipers to your body color. G2 has a brake caliper painting kit matched to your color code.

I agree about the blue calipers. I was going to paint them yellow when I had the tires off but didn't have time cuz the tires took so long to paint. But I definitely plan on painting.g them either black or yellow soon. Thanks for the feedback

I say paint the calipers yellow. I painted my rims black and have yellow calipers and I personally love the look.
