WIP with a slight design problem

[dianec42]

I am working on a silly piece for the upcoming office gift exchange. It's a Maria Diaz design called "Vineyard Holiday" from a recent issue of The World of Cross Stitching. (Sorry I don't know which issue.)

I am leaving out the fields and house in the background. In the resulting space I'll put these words:

To Do Today:
__ Drink
__ Know things

Here's my progress so far:




I'm not at all happy with the green highlights in the glass. It would look fine with green fields behind it but as things stand it doesn't really make sense. I'm thinking of pulling out the green and replacing it with a very pale sky blue. Colour choices (existing green and proposed blue) are below the cut:




What do you think?

I would keep the green. It's like colour reflected in the glass from the bottle. The blue, I think, would stand out too much. Alternatively I'd go for a way paler, almost white blue.
It's not all that many stitches though, so if you pull them and try it and find you don't think it works, it's not a huge amount of work to change it back.
