Default What Color should I paint MY motor?

I can't decide on what color to paint my Stroker motor. I know its a petty thing but I am really stumped... Black seams boring and want a color to go well with my silver XJ.

Mopar orange with a black valve cover and a silver intake manifold, paint the brackets and engine mounts black, leave the water pump silver, and paint the exhaust manifold/header with high temp black header paint.

This is what I was thinking of doing... have black exaust wrap with black coating for the manifold. will be painting the brackets black. I like the idea of leaving the waterpump and intake silver...

Out of the colors you have to choose from, I'd go with the orange. Have you considered neon green?
