I say blue 
I did it on my ti-grey, but I think it would look cool and unique on black as well. I got the paint at Autozone. Also, while you're in there, paint the brake dust shields black too. I think I might get black Mazdaspeed decals from Polak also.

+1 for blue. It would be different than everyone else who has either black or red on their BB's. I did mine in winning blue.
Should've done my dust shield and rotors too...next nice day.

I think black will cause it to be a little blan in your case. I have gloss black as to not draw attention from my car - in your case i would aim to get something that'll flush with the rest of the car and complete the look.
I only suggested a darker shade of blue as to not cause too much contrast and yet still continue the constant color flow that you have.
To go black would be to stay on the safe side - it'll work regardless
iono why i just thought of this, but would you consider a light gold finish on the calipers with winning blue decals on it to match your wheel and car combo??

We'll see how long my paint holds up...I didn't use high temp. So far so good.
Plus if you own a MT...it's called down shifting to keep the brakes from getting to hot.
