Cast Iron Radiators - what colour?

I have just replaced the old radiator in our hallway with a lovely black cast iron radiator. I would like to do the rest of the period house - 10 radiators in total. Would black be the best colour for the rads or should I consider another colour? Generally the walls are painted a pale grey F&B colour.

Thanks for reading.

    Do you want to make a feature of them throughout the house? If so go with black - if not I'd suggest painting them the same colour as the walls, they 'disappear' then ......

    Its an expensive upgrade and really they should be a feature not hidden/painted out of sight - so I think black or anthracite is the best colour. Thank you all for your comments.
