They're both gorgeous, but my preference is for the purple, for three purely subjective reasons. 1. I just don't like green. Some greens are OK, and there's an exception to every rule (Atlantii, for example, have their own funky appeal). 2. Some metallic or metallic-leaning colors are just a little harsh for my tastes. I'll pick a solid color in any palette or configuration over a metallic or iridescent 98% of the time. 3. Despite the aversion to a perceived harshness, I thoroughly enjoy bold and brash. Purple fits that bill.
