I love vert d’eau and I love all shades of greys yet somehow the combination together for option 1 looks so bad to me
it’s probably because the shades are close in their brightness or “lightness” (sorry not an artist have no idea the proper color theory terms) that makes mixing them side by side weird to me. Like the grey is somehow making the light green muddy to me; gets worse the longer I stare at it. I’d have to go option 2 if I am absolutely forced to choose between these two.
What about a verso order? Just vert deau outside; with the inside a different color lining. Or play with different stitching colors. Honestly those would be as special and much more harmonious to my eyes.
But in the end it’s your SO, as long as you like it I’m sure you will rock it!
