BM dress color -HELP-- I'm so undecided!!!

I need something that is going to complement my dress and I think that an earth tone would be best. I like the Jim Hjelm Autumn Gold or Olive. However, the gold sometimes looks brown and I don't really care for brown and black (tuxedo's) together). Please let me know which color you like or think will go best. Thanks!

Here is my dress:



Here is my BM dress



Here is the Olive color



And here is the Gold color

i would go with the olive, especially since you dont like the brown and black tux look together, in the pics it can resemble brown a bit

I dunno about either of those! I think the sheen on the fabric is throwing me.

Thanks. I like the gold best, but think the olive will go better. Also, the green is a bit lighter in person.

I'm just so scared to order it and then not like it when it comes in.

I love both olive and gold colors in general but these look dark. I love that JH dress. Do you want to pick a lighter gold color to match your gown??

I originally wanted like the bill levkoff euro gold, or taupe, but i couldn't find any BL dressed that i liked on all the girls. Then I fould JH and loved this dress and liked the darker colors... I should go find the swatch again

I love JH dresses, but be careful with that material. I was in a wedding were all 3 out of 4 BM dresses ripped right in the material (not a hem, literally right in the material) before the reception was over. If the dress is in a different fabric, check to see the olive and gold. It might look different.
