I can't help it, I love red.
However, with a red car, yellow is too 'mustard and ketchup' for my liking. Silver or black are probably your only options if you want to avoid red.

i say red just cuz you have a red car... black wont be noticeable at all though, so i would probably do silver if you don't want red

Red because your car is red, silver would be okay but that only looks good if you do them right and it has to be the right shade of silver.

Whats the point in coloring your rotor black? I mean it wouldnt really stand out which is kinda the point of painting the caliper is to make it stand out a bit...just my idea of it i guess.
