What seems to be the most common, the most cleanest matching color for a DIY caliper paint job? Gold, Red, Black, or just OEM refurbished finish???

Personally I'm a massive fan of red but only if you have rear discs too it's never about painting your drums to highlight the fact that you have drums

but that's just me I'm picky lol

just rattle can them black. when i swapped my wheels over summer i sprayed the fenderwells and pretty much everything else in the wheel wells black to give it a bit of a cleaner look.

colored calipers are so need for speed underground

Classically speaking I think red is the color of choice but personally I'd go with black, which I did on my old car, or possibly any other darker color like bronze or gunmetal.
