Here's 11 pages to sort through. IMO a teal blue would show your calipers pretty well and also go well w/ your silver car color.

Looks good but need an entire car photo to get better idea.

Here is my played out red caliper. It makes me happy every time I get in my car

If "played-out" means "looks-great", then yes your calipers are played out

I initially pained mine red, but didn't really like how it looked...plus red calipers are played out IMO. So I re-painted them gloss black...looks much better.

Why purple, red, blue, orange, green or any other colors that wouldn't match anything on your car? IMO any of those colors would look awkward and out of place unless you have other accent parts in those colors.
