Caramel or Dark Chocolate?

This is what I'm working on lately.
Leaves for this very large, very red organza flower.

There are two versions I'm stuck on because I like them equally.

One is this very dark chocolate brown

and the other is this lovely dark caramel brown corduroy. 

Corduroy is definately one of my favourite winter materials and with the temperature dropping noticably in the evenings, I've been longing to work with it.

What do you think?

Which leaves are best?

The lighter corduroy leaves or the darker, more dramatic ones?
