"Cute" handlebar bag

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a handlebar bag for a bike I'm building for my wife. It's a maroon Disc Trucker, partially complete right now:



With that color scheme, I'm looking at maybe an Acorn handlebar bag that may match with the honey Brooks B67 (and will have brown grips).

I plan to put a matching white daisy flower pinned to the front flap.

I am not the best in color coordination, so asking for some advice. I will most likely change out the cranks to silver Sugino XD2's (110bcd, 34t ring) and ordered a new wheelset that is all silver. So the basic theme will be maroon, silver, brown with white highlights. I've been looking for days for a handlebar bag that would look good with this. Acorn seems to be the best. There were some on etsy, but they seemed not so durable and made by more-artist-less-cyclists. Also looked at a smaller Duluth Candy Bar bag, but didn't like the barrel bag style. Do you think Acorn will match well? Or other suggestions? (Please no BLACK) I'd like to keep the price under $100. I'd also like to avoid setting up a front rack. Thanks for any input.
