選ぶ or 決める for ”First Choose a color"


I'm writing instructions for how to make a request, but I'm not sure which to
use?

> 先ずは色を決めて下さい。

Or

> 先ずは色を選んで下さい。

Are there any differences? Or am I completely off?




I think it can be interchangeable in some case though.

先ずは色を決めて下さい。It's like you are asking to select the background color of artwork
in advance. To select one color in high-confidence. It sounds much more
decisive.

先ずは色を選んで下さい。It's like you are simply asking to pick up one color in advance.
It can be a flexible request. You are not requesting one color controls its
artwork.

Edit: Sorry. A big mistake. deterministic -> decisive.
