What color to paint my emblems?

I've got a Black Gen3 Camry with faded gold emblems. I need some replacement letters and then I'd like to paint all of the letters and emblems. What color would look the best with the black? I've posted a picture of the backside of the car. And what kind of paint do I use?

Edit: Don't know if this will make a difference, but I've got a different set of rims to put on the car. They're stock 14 inch MR2 rims, 5 spoke. They've got a more matte look compared to my hubcaps now.

Wouldn't that blend too much? Do you have a picture as an example?

I've always been a fan of a good lookin Bronze mate..

My logos are fading on my "Storm Grey" Cam. I only have the Toyota emblem on the rear and the V6 badges on the sides under the side repeaters. Black n Bronze would look sweet in my opinion.
