OMG, I meant not for ME! LOL!
Hydra is a lovely blue for sure. I figured Mykonos or Blue Zanzibar (don't yet know the difference between them) are bit darker i.e. more suitable for Scandinavia. Please post pics of your pretty miss Hydra when you get it (it has to be she, right?).
Malachite is a strong, vibrant and bold colour without being OTT. It is extremely versatile and will match and compliment almost anything. If you want something with more POP go with gold hardware or permabrass.
Bambou is even more vibrant but less versatile in my opinion.
The other end of the spectrum would be vert/vert veronese/verte fonce - but these would be less vibrant.
If you are liking the greens and blues - which generally means you want something fun and vibrant, then why go for something dark? Plus if you are looking for a smaller sized K/B...the bright colours would be amazing!
Re blue: Blue electric, mykonos or izmir for the same reasons. Palladium hardware for class and GHW/permabrass for fun and pop.
Regardless, you wont go wrong with any colour from HERMES. I am sure which ever colour, it will always be amazing! ENJOY!

I have BE and Bleu Jean, and they’re the only blues I need ( I want Mykonos, but it never pans out) I find they both go well with everything. Blue Jean pairs well with casual outfits, BE would pair well in a more formal situation, but both would fit the formal bill depending on the suit you were wearing. Green wise, I have vert olive in both a K32 and a B35, and find they go with most everything I wear color wise. I had Bamboo, and found it too bright. It completely drowned anything I wore and was just too much.
Feel free to comment with TL;DR...
Bleu electrique/Blue Jean: gorgeous colors, both able to be paired with most anything you would want including business wear.
Vert Olive: somewhat muted, but strong enough to make a statement without being ostentatious, and pairs with pretty much anything wardrobe wise. Looks good casual and dressy
Good luck, and let us know what you decide!

You're not the first person that said it looks like BE! In real life the color is a bit more muted
It depends on your own colouring (and the leather in terms of tone).
I feel that until recently H neglected its greens and then perhaps surprisingly must have sold better than projected.
Bambou is the most versatile for me (everybody here must be sick of me saying it). Without sunlight it's a balanced mid-toned green and in the sun makes it sparkle like the fresh leaf colour it was named after. In Winter and Summer it provides POP against the browns, black, greys, off-whites, beige, camel, navys and denim I wear and blends with the melange of either Spring's golden-tones (including other greens) or autumnal shades. I only like it with phw.
I only have Bambou in Swift and Vache County. In Clemence it's shinier and brighter which is less 'me'.
Vert Vertigo is as bright as Bambou but more of a blue cast. Very nice if you look good in bright emerald green.
Menthe is as light as those above but more blue still. Good if you look fab in jade.
Malachite is darker. I have other bags in malachite, good with black and navy but I prefer smaller bags in this colour. I couldn't wear it everyday.
Vert Olive, Canopee, Bronze and other subdued greyed-browned greens I prefer to wear as RTW rather than bags but I do have some. Vert Anis and the more yellow greens add vibrancy to low-key light neutral outfits.
Vert Anglais and Vert Fonce are very close, VA slightly lighter and less blue-grey cast but both great greens, perhaps more for Winter for most people.
Colvert mid-way teal. Lovely strong in-between dark colour that some describe as blue and some green. Again more of a Autumn/Winter colour for most.
Vert Claire (not that light) and Vert Moyen available pre-loved basically fairly nice mid-greens not so much pop as Bambou and VV.
There are so many Hermes blues it would easier to say which I would entertain on a bigger bag like a Birkin.
Personally, if I was going for a pop with the green K I'd go for something more subdued for the B. Bleu Nuit, Indigo, Bleu Saphir...

What papertiger said....you can't even have this discussion without knowing the leather. For instance, Bleu Saphir (a color I love) is a vibrant jewel tone in chèvre and box, a resonant blue in Swift, and a rather conservative but still gorgeous navy in Clemence.
Vert Foncé is true to its name but is also more brilliant in the saturated leathers.
I am probably a bad recommender for you as I really like Bleu Nuit and you don't, but my choices for versatility would probably be Bleu Saphir and Vert Foncé, or Vert Veronese if you can find it.

It's funny. I just happened to take this photo today. Maybe it could help. Here's Bleu Saphir in different leathers. Going clockwise from the top, box, epsom, alligator lisse, chevre.
I find Bleu Agate quite versatile as well. Depending on whether you're looking for a more saturated blue or a softer blue. Bothe BS and BA are great blues.
I agree with you that Zanzibar could be too bright for a bigger bag for some.

This would be my choice of colours aswell.....
Just to add my experience I had a Bleu Saphir Clemence bag and after a while sold it because I really wanted a navy blue, which I later got as a SO in Bleu Nuit Clemence. Also I have had Vert Foncé, and after using it for a while I sold that too. But it's still my favourite H green, I also like Vert Veronese very much.
Here are pics of my ex bags, first Bleu Saphir then Vert Foncé (with flash) and last Bleu Nuit.
