I'd say whichever you prefer! If we base our aesthetic decisions off the opinions of others, we'll all have the same looking boards within a year.

Do you have a shot further away for the 1st set? I prefer that one but folks are right, really depends on your style as you'll be the one looking at it as you use it. I like the top/1st one because of the darker contrast between the main keys and the sub keys.

I like the orange ones - closer to yellow than the green ones.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Second, only because it looks like the case has a green-blue tinge that I think clashes with the orange.

I'd say first, because the yellow makes the board pop, but as Findecanor said, if there's a blue-green tinge, the second would be better.
Since photos often are not accurate with color, you'd know this best.

I'd say the second one as long as you have a mod colored pipe key, at least that's what i would do! However, do whatever you feel looks best to you  :)

They are close, but it really depends on whether you like blue or green better.  Personally I like the first one better.  I like the conrast of the yellow on the modifiers and how it matches the enter key.  Plus I like the blue better.

Leopold FC660M- my new favorite, right out of the box.

Depends on your setup but I'd say the second set, because it has more life to it and it looks very clean.
