Default Thinking ahead....about borders

I am slowly getting my Bargello top put together (pattern called Illusion) and am thinking about borders as I labor through all the small details.

The pattern suggests a small inner green border and a black outer border. I was planning on having a light blue inner border and a deep purple outer border, but the more I get into this pattern, I think maybe I should have the outer border black. I think it might make the black background just look "more right."

Now, I know that I won't be able to really tell until I have the center of this finished, but that is probably a week away, and I have to think about something as I sew...so my question is, which way would you lean....outer black border or outer deep purple border. I may need to go buy more black if that is the way I go...

Thanks for any input.
