What color should I paint my calipers?

I'm probably gonna paint the rear drums black, but what color do I paint the calipers that will look good with my car color (dark green)?

Oh btw, silver is my choice! Regardless of car color I go for silver! Why you want to paint drum brake black? Why don't try silver first, I'm sure you'll change your mind that happend to me.

I think I'm gonna go with black on the calipers too then because I plan to keep my whole car pretty dark. I mean: smoked tail lights, smoked bumper lights, smoked rear center panel, %5 tinted windows, black or gun metal rims with lip.

Or maybe I'll do silver first, if I don't like it then I'll paint them black.
