Metallic grey

Red looks kinda ricey imo and black is hard to notice

Such a shame that people think a certain colour brake caliper will make your car look rice and whatnot. Look at the car as a whole.
I say red or gold. It really depends what kind of look you're going for and what you like.

i thought about going gold but ended up going silver... just a neat finish and it looks how they looked when the car was new

Since your car and wheels are dark (going off your avatar) I reckon gold would look seriously hot. If not gold, then yellow, then red.

how about since your car is black, why not not spray them at all.

no because the calipers need to be cooled, if you paint them that restricts and leaves a layer there for caliper wont cool properly
