Default Which colour?

I'm painting a stock. It's the same stock that's in the photos. Here are the two colouroptions I've narrowed it down to. And yes it will have a red pad.

Default choice

The first one, because when the bull moose is crossing the cutline he will hesitate a few seconds longer to admire that recoil pad!
