Spend more money for less attractive calipers?

If I were getting modular wheels with black discs and polished rims, I would definitely go with yellow calipers, but since I'm going to be putting on OEM 167 M wheels, the visual in my mind says red may look a bit better than the yellow.... Perhaps it's because I've seen so many pictures of red caliper Brembo BBKs on 5ers with 167 M wheels???

My original choice was black, but so many people suggested brighter colors to show off the calipers. The black calipers would look sweet on a black car with 167 M wheels.
