The preponderance of pics in the Loaded Touring Bike Gallery feature color-matched bags. I don't know if this is a stylistic choice or if it's an unintended consequence of folks buying their front and rear panniers, handlebar bag and rack-top bag at the same time at the same place.
I didn't see any images with mismatched left and right panniers. ( ! ) That's probably more of a Noah's Ark thing, though.
