I ended up having to punch the holes out bigger on this strap due to the large diameter of the strap buttons on this guitar.
Straps that go with PRS colors?

I would use that tan one on the green guitar. It matches perfectly from what I see with the side/back wood coloring of that guitar. And I actually think the blue one would look better on the orange/yellow/red guitar than it does on the green guitar (but I don't think it is a permanent fix, just a bit better) ;~))I wanted a bird swarm leather strap for my 24-08
The green ones were on sale from PRS for $29
subtract the 20% and it was $23
so I pulled the trigger
added a Tan one as well
but when I got them on the guitars neither of them were the home run I had expected them to be
They are each just a shade or two off
not perfect, not bad, just lacking somehow
They will do for now but I'll keep looking

That's why I get quality leather straps. A quick spread with pliers and it fits the PRS buttons perfectly.

For the last year I've been using a:
Franklin "Glove Leather" Link-3" strap
It's wide enough to distribute the weight of my guitar (making it feel lighter), yet soft enough to not dig into my neck like so many wide padded straps do. The "Link" style adds a bit of visual interest without distracting from the guitar. It's a great way to go. US company, excellent workmanship, wonderful products at very reasonable prices... it's worth your time checking out
Prior to the Franklin, I bought a:
Moody 4" Blue back/stitched Leather strap
Moody Leather strap 4". It's VERY nice leather, and the blue stitching and underside was a great complement to my blue Stingray Bass. But I found it to be somewhat stiff for my liking and have hardly used it at all. So it safely resides in the little custom box in which it was shipped. Wish I knew about Franklin before I bought the Moody LOL! It is very nice though, and something you might like for your guitar. You never really know with theses things until you live with them for a while.

Moody 4" Leather with blue stitching & blue back:

Best of luck in your search!

Blue shades are hard to match. I tried several before arriving at a Souldier Festival for the SE Zach Myers and a Dunlop Hendrix Blue Diamond for the blue SE 594 (doesn't "match" but I like it).

Unlike guitars, nothing beats a good ol' black strap IMO. Goes with everything.

I bought the same green Bird Swarm strap because of the sale plus the 20% off. Sadly, it's not the same kind of green as my Jade Smokeburst, so the black one went back on. lol

The one on the left looks great. I settled on a blue with turquoise on the inside. I think like that it's the green that makes it go. But then again, I don't have it yet, so just hoping.Blue shades are hard to match.

A 9mm strap button slit works really well.
Both Heistercamp and a German company called Richter will make the button hole slit to any length specified, but Heistercamp now makes a 9mm PRS button hole a drop-down option on their order menu. I've ordered several straps from these companies. Both use beautiful leather and do superb work.

I like the look of a navy strap with the stone blue Silver Sky.

We are all one so we may as well have some fun ❤
The second strap on my video, it's the Dunlop Hendrix Face strap (okay that sounds weird).
Anyways, it goes with anything.

How would this Perri's strap look on my Eriza Verde 24-08?
Better than the green swarm?
