I've seen body colored calipers and those look cool. It all depends what you are really going for, if you want the calipers to "pop" and stand out, or if you just want to give them a fresher look.

The problem with say red or gold, is that as brake dust accumulates it makes the finish look dirty and dull.. In other words, it's just a lot more visible on those brighter colors

Personally, I don't think sliding calipers look all that attractive (even though they're functionally great), so if I was going to paint them I would probably paint them a glossy or matte black, but a blue might be kind of cool too.. You probably wouldn't have to be too concerned about matching the paint exactly, just something fairly close.
