Work bag - which colour?

I'm getting a bag I posted about about a month ago:

I was looking at the green, but am even more undecided now the navy is available again - it is the laptop bag on here:

I'm still scared about the green one. It is a dark-ish apple green. If it were closer to lime green I wouldn't be hesitating as I can see it being more of a neutral. My default dark neutral is navy blue, which I think would be ok with it, but I'm worried about how it would look against this trench:

I was excited about NOT getting something in navy blue, but I'm wondering if I'm better buying navy blue and having more variety in my handbags - I'd need to carry a handbag as well.

Any thoughts? Sorry to be so bad at making up my mind, when I had so much encouragement the first time!

Didn't read the original thread, but with that trench, blue is the only color I can see working. If blue is your go-to neutral, I see that as a positive thing for an item that has to work with many outfits.

I could only see your picture with the trench, but if this is a good example for your colour scheme, I think the blue bag would look better then the green one.
Adding the green one to an outfit like this would make it too colourful & a bit agitated *?*. I think. And it also looks more like a warm color, compared to your outfit & the blue bag, which seem to be more cold.

So, sorry if this is not helping with the confusion, but I vote for Blue.

PS: I love TMLewin. They are great

I went with the blue! I realised that although I loved the idea of the green, that particular green wouldn't work so well with my standard navy neutral colour so thank you both for pointing that out.

It arrived today and is just as gorgeous as I hoped.

Thank you!

PS I love TM Lewin...
