Default What color should I paint my heads?

Been thinking about what color I should paint the new heads that I bought.

I've got them all taped off and ready to spray, just trying to decide on a color and waiting for a day that's warm and for the wind to die down a bit. The engine bay is Patriot Blue and the air hat and valve covers will be a black wrinkle coat. I might even pull the intake and paint it, wouldn't take long to clean up. I'll narrow it down to the choices I've been mulling over.

I say yellow because it's 1) Unusual and 2) Good for finding leaks if some show up later.

I don't think that high heat blue is the exact same color.

High heat blue is ford blue. Its actually kinda light. That's what I'm painting certain parts. I wish it was darker to more match the truck but oh well
