Default Opinions on Engine bay

I plan on painting the engine bay on my EBP EM1 but I have no clue what color to go with. Does anyone have suggestions? I wanna do something that looks nice, possibly painting the valve cover and various parts under the hood to match.
Thanks

Before you even think about a color, just remember that painted brake lines and spray paint is wrong. Strip the whole bay and prep is key to a flawless paint job. (My Opinion).

I'd paint it EBP, but that's just me.

I was thinking that, but I want something different. Unless I can clean it up REALLY well and see how that looks. Possibly even repaint it EBP so it has a fresh coat

keep it the same color. Looks so much nicer when it is the same color as the car, just do it right and make it fresh.
