At the risk of sounding a bit flippant, could you not get a gold pen from Halfords or somewhere and keep trying the different "golds" until you find one that matches? If you want a perfect match, probably go to Brembo themselves and see if they will tell you the colour code??
Just a thought

You can buy decal kits and paint etc online Red/Gold whatever colour to match your car, I did this myself and I have no patience whatsoever !!
They were all pink and toasted, thanks to my careful driving

Tidy job there mate. I would cock it up on a grand scale mate, Im worst when it comes to patience and detail lol
Would be nice to have red calipers mind, gold looks nice but the red would look rather charming

That was on one of my Evo's that, fairly rushed job

Interesting Idea Sweede, could start a new thread "Weird and wonderful Brembo colours" a yellow would look quite tidy against the blue of the car or black?

I personally would think a black or dark grey would be grey. Maybe the same grey as the alloys ? Or red.
Yellow would look OTT.
My personal opinion though

Black is likely to be black and grey will always be grey.
