Red face Memory Angel quilt
I am going to make an angel memory wall hanging for Christmas. My first thought was --of course the Angel wings are white! What to use for a background? Any suggestions are welcome.

Varying shades of blue - for backgrounds for day time and night time angels!

I agree or my other favorite color, green, just to be different.

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.
