I would suggest that you consider the darker color (chocolate or black?) as a solid--every qult needs a "deep,dark" as Jinny Beyer recommends to really get things to pop--you have lovely fabrics (I especially like that gray paisley and the wavey one) but I bet if you looked at them through a red lense, there would not be the contrast that you need.
