Only the "S"s came with "red" calipers. Base models are black (but seem to turn grayish with age and heat).

Red stands out well, but yellow is less common. Silver would look nice, but not stand out well.

If I ever decide to paint my calipers, they will be red.

I know. I was saying Red was factory when painted other than black.
