Default Color help,peacock applique background, border

I’m putting together this applique wall hanging and not completely happy with my color choices. The applique is not sewn on yet. The background will be a little narrower than pictured.
Questions
1. Is the background color too much for the peacock ?

2. I’m going to put a thin border 1” border between the background and the 2” blue border. There are five choices: dark green, mottled light green, light aqua ( with feathers), spring green or no 1” border, background is up against blue border. Which do you like?
binding will be blue. The blocks are from a QB boom.

The peacock looks a little lonely to me on the orangey background. Something feels not quite right but I’m not sure what. My husband thinks I should FMQ big green leaves on the background but I don’t think they would be very visible.

Help my artistic quilting board friends.
