The honey color does go well with it, I like it in this combination. I am like you, I wish they had offered this one in the regular sized too.I loved the rivets on the dark turquoise and wished they did that color/riveting on the regular sized rogue. I gravitate toward the regular rogue size. I kept toying with the 25 in the dark turquoise but I think the suede color was deterring me. But really, what suede color would look better with the dark turquoise and think the honey suits it well in the end. I just loved the rivets on it and the floral one in particular.
