Mulch shouldn't come in "colors" :-) That just means it has been dyed and therefore unnatural looking. Just keep whatever mulch you use - shredded bark, pine straw, gorilla hair, leaf mold, etc. - in its natural color. It should not stand out.

And IMO, you already have enough trees populating this garden. But you could certainly revise and fill in any foundation plantings!
