Any opinions on the color scheme for these two wallets?

I was trying to decide between these two wallets. I was curious if anyone could give their own point of view on which color scheme they prefer.

I am not a fan of boring wallets ever since my wife gave me one with a vintage photo of Arizona on it. I get compliments every time I pull it out to pay for something. Go Bold!

Thanks for the input! I ended up picking the one that I liked the most. I have a question though, how does the quality look in terms of craftsmanship? I can return it thankfully if it turns out to be low quality, but I wanted to ask because I paid $200 for it, so I want to make sure it's actually high quality and that it wasn't a ripoff or something. Thoughts? (Blacked out parts were me blocking out any personal stuff)

Also, is it normal to have trouble closing the wallet all the way when putting money in it? Last wallet I had was a trifold, this is my first bifold so I'm not familiar with it.

I have some better quality pics and wanted to clarify about my concerns and the wallet closing thing.

One thing that made me concerned was in some parts I can feel the stitching, like the tips of the threads(probably where they put it together). I figured maybe it was because it's handmade, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't some sort of flaw with how they did it. Also as far as the closing thing goes, when I place bills inside the wallet normally lengthwise without folding them, the wallet is unable to close properly. These 3 photos show what I mean:
No Bills:

6 Bills:

10 Bills:

I did notice I am able to close it properly if I fold the bills in half and stick them in one half of the wallet sleeves, instead of leaving the entire bill unfolded and taking up both sleeves, is this simply how you're supposed to have bills inside a bifold wallet? I never had one before so I wasn't sure.

Looks good to me. In my experience, it ought to break in as the spine stretches to accommodate all the bills and cards you stuff it with. Sit on it with it in your back pocket. Excellent choice in color, really striking without being to gaudy!
