Since they are both gorgeous colors, you should pick the color that would go best with your wardrobe. IMO, they are the 2 prettiest colors from the season. I was contemplating both colors for my new Matelasse, so I chose the one that would coordinate with my clothes the best. Once you get a new bag you want to use it all the time, so it would be a shame to have to leave it at home because the color clashed with what you are wearing.
