I've been thinking about that too, thinking that it would be very easy to end up with even more colors on the hat and the brim binding might detract from the hat overall. Even if one of the same color from the ribbon were used, smaller or larger pieces of the same color fabric can appear to be a different color than the comparison piece (in this case, the brim binding as compared to the ribbon). My first take is that it would look better by mimicking most Panama's where the hat is all one color and the colors and texture of the pugg becomes the focal point.
I was pondering this some more and thought also that the combination of browns as pictured above might come off better (to my eye) if there were a bound edge.
I also agree that a two tone ribbon would look great too.
