Thoughts an Blue calipers on Sunset Orange?

I’m planning on getting painted calipers for my Sunset Orange BMW but struggling to decide if it’ll actually look good.

Are there any other colours I should do or should I paint match the calipers to Sunset Orange like the rest of the car?

I think the blue looks good. The emblems/roundels also have blue in them and they don't look out of place. Personally I would NOT paint them te same as the car colour. Somehow that looks "cheaped out" to me. In my opinion the only body colour that does not go well with the blue calipers is blue.

I think blue looks fine on sunset orange. Paint matching is definitely a no go it needs some contrast.

Sunset orange is a beautiful color.

I have a blue car with blue calipers lol. I'm too lazy to have the calipers painted red etc.

I went for red calipers on my sahkir orange, its a bit of contrast, but not to much like I found the blue ones.
