I would be a bit concerned about the top left brown print and the black and white prints. When I do neutral quilts, I get best results with tonal prints only, and shades of light grey, taupe and tan/cream. I think the black and white prints would 'pop' out too much, but not sure what your selected pattern looks like, so just food for thought. Here are two neutral quilts I did, both with the same pattern but different fabrics. (Some of mine would be too dark under your guidelines however.)

I agree. Either keep that one and lose the whites, or keep the whites and lose that one. I've noticed about scrappy quilts, they can look perfect except for one fabric that can pull things out of balance. It's a little too dark and depending on the pattern, could possibly end up disrupting the pattern or drawing the eye away. It's hard to explain, but it looks like an empty spot or invisible spot.
