Default help needed with engine bay color

Hi,

My car is camellia pearl red, and i will use the following colors under the hood:


- Silver (block, manifold, turbo, downpipe and rvs lines)
- Camellia pearl red (valve cover)
- Yellow (all water and vacuum lines)
- Black (all other things that are not listed)
- Gold (all 10mm bolds and the letters on the valve cover)


What will be the best color, and what color should I absolute not use at all.

I want it to be bright, but i needs to look correct with other colors i am using

I would do it the same color as the car and powdercoat/paint the valve cover black probably... Yellow also seems like it'd look funny in there, but I haven't seen it so it's hard to say. I LOVE burnt copper for valve covers and think it goes great with black/silver components, but it may not look good with your red.

It's all personal preference though, don't let me tell you what looks good, do what you like
