    I like the green - unless you line the darker fabrics evenly around the plate tend to look very off balance with the brown. The green is more subtle and you don't notice the order of the plate wedges. Love the colors.

    I think maybe it is just my monitor, but with the green center, it looked mostly green and with brown, it seemed mostly brown.

    Either one looks lovely, but I would lean towards the brown. What a pretty dresden! Love the color arrangement.

    I also like the green, I only see the brown when using the brown center.

    the green blends the colors while the brown pops the brown strips, I quess it all depends on what you want the piece to reflect.
