Varying shades of blue - for backgrounds for day time and night time angels!
you could go with white to show off all the colors best, and just outline in a grey or darker shade of grey.
are you doing redwork, then white.
put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.
Alternately you could do gold wings.
How about using gold for the wings??

I found a sky blue fabric with clouds on it at my local WalMart.

I would say a blue for the sky with maybe a little yellow for sunshine
