    Should I change mid grey buttons to light ones? (see picture)

    Hello. My new suit came without sleeve buttons. The original buttons are the medium grey ones on the left. I like the traditional bevelled middle and rim edge shape. I have enough large buttons for the front of jacket but no 23L small ones (top left) for sleeves. I like the way the darker...
