I wanna lube her right, please help.

83 GSL, I'm in the process of rebuilding the rear brakes using Mazdatrix's rear caliper rebuild kit and boot kit. The packages came with a pink grease, an orange grease, and a small packet of clear grease. I'm sure the small packet is silicone for the lower guide bolt/boot, but I'm not sure which color to use for the ebrake "cup" on the caliper, and, honestly, I've never rebuilt calipers before. If I've researched correctly, I should be lubing the the ring that goes around the piston with DOT 3, and the lower guide bolt with silicone. I'm sure either the pink stuff or the orange stuff goes on the ebrake assembly, but want to make sure I'm using the correct grease on the correct parts. Any and all help is appreciated!
