Which color bag?

I ended up with two basically identical bags for my Trek. The green bag is brand new from Frost River. The tan bag is used from another company. I’m trying to figure out what looks best on the bike.

That wasn’t the question, I like the brown saddle with tan sidewalls and gum brake hoods. Plus I had a brown saddle already.

I prefer the lighter one. Works well with the sidewalls.

I think they both look good, but your comment on the tan sidewalls swayed me.
The green doesn't read very green (in the pics anyway) but the Tan matches the sidewalls, and is friends with the gum hoods and brown saddle. Since the frame is blue I would go with the Tan rather than introduce another color.
