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

[stylecounsel1]

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 grey matches the check lines and that the buttons have a matte finish. I think they are corozo but might be dyed horn? Or, are they just plastic?
I cannot source matching buttons easily. I would have thought grey buttons would be easy to find but no. I can travel to a supplier who has very similar corozo or fake horn buttons as I want to see in person but the cost of that plus buttons would be £50+.

Does anyone know a supplier I can try in UK?

My local haberdashery has the lighter buttons on the right. They are plastic but with a matte finish and cost only £2 for a whole set.
I'm not sure about the shape as they are flat with no rim and only a slight indentation in the centre but the colour blends with the fabric well to my eye. This is a summer suit to look smart but not for formal/business occasions. Could I even wear a jacket in this fabric with other trousers occasionally?

The suit is a luxury quality so I don't want to cheapen it with the wrong buttons. To my eye the light colour with grey swirl blends well with the fabric and they are a nice matte, not shiny plastic.

The light buttons are about 0.5mm wider in diameter than the standard ones. Not sure if that will be a problem for button hole machine at tailor?

I can get the tailor to fit the light ones and see how it looks as I can always change them in future. If you more experienced guys think the light ones are wrong then I'll make a trip to the supplier.

I would be interested if there is any back story to the button shape on the left as I have not seen it before.

Personally, I prefer the darker buttons, and I think it would be better to put the right buttons on in the first place rather than plan to change them later. Cheap buttons will never look right on a nice suit. Can your tailor help you with sourcing?

In the UK:

Buttons - The Lining Company

These look pretty close to what you're looking for:

23L 4 Hole Corozo Buttons - The Lining Company

Grey buttons look too suit like/conservative for a jacket in this cloth.
White buttons don't have a quality look, they look cheap.
Seems you prefer matte but I would consider grey mother of pearl.

Thanks for your opinions. I think I will go for the mid grey corozo ones from lining co. I think MOP might be a bit too showy for me as I'm just starting on my sartorial journey.
lining co have 2 hole buttons, the tailor seemed to have a preference for two hole when I saw the suits in his showroom so maybe i'll do that to make them slightly less usual.

And, i'll get some spares in case one falls off!

Just out of interest. What aspect of the light buttons looks bad to you? I like the way the colour pops out like a negative of the fabric. Even though they cost much less, the material texture is not much different. Is it because they are lighter in colour or do they look too simple by having too flat a shape without a rim so are not right for a well tailored suit?
