I tend to try to avoid two colors especially if they clash, like I wouldn't want blue calipers on red or visa versa. Black calipers seem boring but I think they might be a good play

I guess so.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone suggest red and blue clash. They're together in a number of national flags (including the US flag).

I have a G80 6MT TB II coming (on the boat right now) with red calipers. I thought blue might not be so good because it would be a very different blue and I thought black wouldn't be noticeable....and, well.....red calipers make everything look racy, right?

Trying to determine what I want with the IOMG and KO. I'm thinking black since 3 different bold colors on the car is a bit much... but at the same time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now that Fiona Red is available as an interior color, I don't want the red on red look and prefer the blue calipers. Especially against the blue in the headlights.

It's too bad the 825M wheels aren't offered in all black. I'd get those over the 826M if they were.

Blue because all other colors are 750$ here in Canada...

Red would of been nice but Blue on Oxide Grey is nothing to sneeze at.

I ordered blue since I went with Brooklyn Gray. I had blue calipers on my Nardo Gray M4 as well.

Blue calipers with the black sapphire metallic. The blue accents the BMW logo and the blue found in the headlights imo.
