If it's a solid color sporran, the straps should match. Now with two tone sporrans, you ought to be able to wear a strap of either color, but the strap should match your kilt belt.
That being said, if it's all you've got wear what you have, just know that the people on this board may say something.

I am just deciding which to get first. I have both a brown and a black sporran; I wear the black more, but the brown will be worn more in the warmer months.
I'd have to agree with Dave - if the sporran is monochrome, the sporran strap/belt should be the same color as the sporran. If the sporran is 2-tone, then match the sporran belt with the predominate color.
I understand it's a matter of perspective, but buying 2 sporran belts seems like a minor expenditure compared with many kilt accessories. Go ahead, splurge - you're worth it!

You might want to consider what color belt you will wear more often, and what color shoes you will wear.
I figure the sporran strap and sporran should follow the convention of matching your belt to your shoes. Just seems like the natural thing to do.
As to which one to buy? Both would be the best!
Another option to consider might be that a black sporran strap used with a brown sporran, while not the best combination, would seem to be a better combination than a brown strap with a black sporran if in a pinch.
