I agree with Bree.

I think both look good. I would probably choose the green. When you look at both, which one do you keep coming back to?

Default Peach

I prefer peach. I think the green is distracting. IMHO'

I would use either the green or salmon. I think the purple is too harsh when set against the pretty floral, IMO.

Looks like you could use both. Two small stripes of color before the purple outer border. Or use the salmon (I like that one) and put a "flange" of green between the salmon and purple. (I love the green, too.)

I like them both, but if I have to choose, go with the green.
