I like the proportions of the borders on the image on the left better than the proportions of the image on the right.
Again - it is your project - your choice.
I think the other fabrics that you have chosen look very nice together.

A big Thank you to all who responded to my inquiry...I am indeed going to rethink my choices - it is for a wedding gift and I want it to be lovely. I will try to take a larger photo there really are aqua flowers in the most of the 5" squares...perhaps I will looking a light tan and see... I am thinking not using the dark brown - maybe just two border.

I also like the left photo.
I do see aqua in the floral in the left photo, both in the 5" squares (quilt) and in the floral border.
Not so much in the other photo, I think it was just a trick of the fabric that the 2nd photo doesn't show the aqua in your focus fabric.
I'm in the middle of my answer...so can't look back to OP, is it a quilt? Audition quilt with the borders hanging off either a bed or a sofa/couch, and get as far away from it as you can. Does the aqua work from a distance, or does it feel off? Your answer might be different if it's a table runner...cuz the ones using it will be closer to it.
