Default Opinions please

I really need some advice on the borders for this quilt. It is made from batik 2 1/2" strips in chocolate and teal with a cream background. Which looks better for a 2" border next to the quilt, the teal or brown. The border fabric combines both of these colours. I have enough of each to do either the inner border or the binding. Thanks for your advice.

The first one is warmer, the second one cooler. It all depends on which direction you want to go. I like #2.

I choice would be #2 and that is odd because I very seldom pick shades of blue over anything.
