Caliper paint for stock CGP TSX - Which color should I use?

I know there are tons of threads about caliper paint but I haven't seen any combination with the CGP color and stock rims. I am debating whether to go with black calipers and white Acura decals or to go with Silver calipers, in order to somewhat match the rim color. Any suggestions or sample pics of CGP w/ painted calipers will be much appreciated.

White would probably get dirty very easily IMO.

Black might be a good color since our OEM calipers have a slight silver color to them already.

I don't have any pics with the stock wheels on as I just painted the calipers a couple months ago. Stock wheels will be going back on for the winter.

Yea I think I'm going to go ahead with the black calipers + acura decal. Looks nice and clean.

I use good old Rustoleum Aluminum (silver) once a year in the spring time. Looks great with the stock rims.

Do you have a picture by any chance?

I think something monochromatic (like black or silver) will work.
