Black would be the only colour, anything else will stick out like a sore thumb.

it is just a case of painting them with caliper paint
applying with a small brush out a paint pot is easier about 3 coats max
but you can also spray them if you wish
leaving them to dry for about 3 days
add the stickers if you want after a week

White stands out just that my wheels are 17s so hides them somewhat.
