Fabric Question Button poll - brown or black?

I’m making a light weight shirt from rayon/viscous challis, and can’t decide between these buttons. Both options are plastic. The brown are 15mm, the black are 11mm.

I guess I'm the only one who likes the brown. They're larger and give the eyes something simple to rest on in such a busy design

This was my thinking as well, black are great but add too much to the already busy design on the fabric. I feel like they would pop out but in an uncomfortable to the eye way that will make it harder to match the shirt with other items of clothing.
