Should aluminum banisters and railing be white?

Hello. We are painting our 3-floor condo open air atrium and stairwell. We are in the Caribbean (cement structure). There is commercial space downstairs (not visible from the apt space), 2 floors with a total of 8 apartments, and an accessible rooftop for BBQ, gardening & gatherings. The view is spectacular.

We opted to paint a clean white with sky blue accents. I’m including all the photos I have, the last 2 showing the blue. That blue wall goes all the way up to the open roof. All of the wrought iron on the (kitchen and laundry) windows & door security gates will be painted black. This is best for our area because we’re surrounded by corrosive salt air / ocean on 3 sides.

The benches will be finished in 4 slats of pressure treated lumber each, stained. The railings and bannisters are aluminum. I am looking for recommendations on color. We are thinking white. That lower floor of the atrium is a garden … Everything was moved while power washing / scraping / painting. Also, the floor in the center of the atrium, where the benches and garden are, is currently painted grey. There are floor drains in the area for rain. What do you recommend in terms of color? All remaining floor space and stairwells are tiled beige.

Looking forward to reading your recommendations. Thank you so much for reviewing.
