What color should our gutters & downspouts be?

We are having gutters installed next week & I have to choose the color today or tomorrow. I have heard that the gutters should match the trim at the roofline since that is where they will be hanging; however, the installer asked me if I want the downspouts to be dark brown like our trim or if I want them another shade. I have NO IDEA. I just want them to blend in & not stick out like a sore thumb!
