BG & brake caliper color combo question/opinion

Folks,
There are many topics here talked about BG and interior color combo but not much on the brake caliper color

I am planning on getting the BG with KO combo but not sure on the caliper color? I don't plan to get the ceramic brakes, don't plan to track.

I am thinking leaving it as default blue to match with the laser headlight and I think BG and blue would work (then should I just get the YMB interior to complete the look?)

Or get the black calipers to complete the black wheels and complete the black shadow lines?

I feel that Red is out of place...

Your thoughts?

I have blue with BGM and like the combination.
Agree red with the orange interior would look odd

Mine is BG with Yas Carbon bucket seats. I ordered black calipers but will be getting them powder coated the same color as the yellow stripe on the yas seats!

I saw a BG M4 with black wheels and black calipers yesterday and the calipers certainly get lost in there (not eye catching) but if you do focus on them they look great. This car also had black interior, which while a plain color, looked really nice due to the seat perforations and Alcantara strip on the seat shoulders.

I like kyalami but I couldn't live with it day in and day out. Too bright. For BG plus kyalami I think I would do black calipers but not with black wheels.
