I've painted my calipers a copper colour on previous cars which accentuated (and tidied up) the calipers without saying "my car is faster than yours" to other road users, so stand out enough without being like the red or yellow coloured calipers.

Failing that option, silver works well as it will look OEM in nature.

I think that copper would look good.
