    I have a set of Macan calipers I’m Going to put on soon and can’t decide if I should get them powder coated yellow with black brembo decals or a dark blue like my car with white brembo decals.

    I think the blue would look better.

    I have a Misano red S4 that I was thinking about the same thing for this past summer, red or black or silver. I decided that red would be too difficult to try to match to the car and I wasn't sure if like it if it was slightly off.

    How close of a match to the blue do you think you can get? If you're having them done professionally a bright silver to match the mirror caps and trim could look nice.

    When I want to check color match, I order the swatches from prismatic first.

    Personally I like that color combination - https://www.google.com/search?q=alfa...J77vU-6P8m7VDM
    Life has taught me never try to make something idiot proof, they'll simply come up with a better idiot.
    I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.
    I have neither the time, nor the crayons to explain this to you properly.

    My blue calipers disappear, I wish I had done orange or yellow… (maybe it’s the black wheels…)

    I think the black wheels really contribute to how dark it is. Yellow is really the only color I can think of that pops off of black wheels.

    Ooh, silver would look good. Especially if I could find dark blue brembo high temp decals to contrast. Yellow is definitely up there too. If I did yellow I’d probably do the red square on the S4 logo on the front and back in yellow too

    You’re right about the match, estriol blue would be hard to match well

    My vote is for silver. Your car has that silver side skirt accent and I think that would work well.
