Default help with choosing color

ok everyone i need your opinions into what color should i paint my intake manifold.i got an extra one that im getting painted. i tryed a so called metallic smoke bs but it actually came out looking just gray. it actually looks like if i just primered it and cleared the crap out of it. im gonna color my intercooler pipes soon too but ive been thinking on doing the pipes in black so i dont know if i wanna go w a black manifold too. but i wanna see what u guys think from looking at the colors i got on my engine bay right now.


and here is what the color i tryed looks like

not feeling it.

Go with pink if you want to stand out, other than that I'd say maybe forest green?

here is what i was thinking, either red cause ofcourse the red of the sti matches w everything, maybe blue cause of the couplers, gloss black, or just color match it w the car PSM.
