I went with black, although I considered silver.
I'm going to have to redo them eventually. The hi-temp ceramic engine paint was a bad choice. It comes off easily. Next time I'll try some epoxy paint, which should be a lot better.

The two part epoxy paints are supposed to be much better. I used the duplicolor gloss black engine enamel, which sucks. Keep in mind that it was the spray on kind. The one you hand paint might be better, I don't know.
What I'd really like to do is get another set of calipers, maybe go the cheap BB route, and have those powdercoated.
Comparison. The G2 stuff sounds like the way to go. I see it's available on ebay as well.
More G2 comments. And more. Seems like a lot of other people started with engine enamel and then went with epoxy.

I have a Savana green coloured tib, and my colour scheme is Green ,black,Bronze/gold
I painted my calipers black ('cause my rims are bronze)
It's up to you, but I feel the colour you pick should be in your colour scheme.

I used the expensive Folia Tech stuff.. going on four years now and not a mark on the red.. and that includes taking the calipers compleatly off of the car to replace the lines.
*edit*
I have to wonder if I shouldn't move this to exterior as it mostly a cosmetic question
