Default Powder Coat Color Opinions

As some of you already know, I'm extremely close to installing a turbonetics kit on my 06 TC. I picked up the intercooler piping used, and the finish has seen better days. I'm sending it out to get powder coated along with my valve cover, but I seriously have no idea what color to go with. My TC is black cherry pearl and I want to go with something that kind of sticks out but at the same time could pass for stock. I'm thinking wrinkle red but all suggestions are welcome! Here is where I'm sending the piping and the list of colors they have.

Sorry I don't have a better picture of my car, but here's how it sits now.

If this needs to be moved I'm sorry! After further consideration I'm thinking it should go under "engine/drivetrain"

I think you should make them stand out and go with like a tennis ball green or a crown royal pruple!!!

Yeah I thought about it, but I'd like to be able to coordinate the color with other things as well. I plan on anodizing the intercooler black and then color matching the turbonetics logo with the piping.

Yeah it would! I should look into the difference between painting and powder coating when it comes to this application. I can also check and see if that place will do a custom color.
