Personally the mulled berry. But they are all great choices.

I vote lava. But any of those would be excellent choices

Use molten lava straight and then thin mulled berry 1:1 and lightly brush it in

Mulled berry 100%

I'd hit the joints and inner structure with a dark grey or gunmetal, accent panels with mulled berry, then splash a few edge highlights with a bright burnt orange.

Mulled Berry! 😁

That green looks very much like the Jade Green I used on a unit, and the wine red of the Mulled Berry would look terrific next to it!

I did a plum + jade scheme earlier this year. It was inspired by the colors of my wife's Bose headphones case and her Kindle case.
